I desperately want to pick up a lever action for just general fun and primary home defense rifle.
First, I need to decide caliber and cannot choose between these 2. Also was considering the 357mag. I did lots of research and the 30/30 and 44mag seem to both offer great power with an edge to range for the 30/30 and an edge to power for the 44. I still cant decide
I dont own a revolver and dont plan on getting one to match so again this would be primarily Home defense and just range fun. I am interested in either 16 or 18in barrel. Any ideas ow to settle this debate in my head? And im only getting ONE so dont say both!
Thansk in advance and please vote to help me choose

- Other concerns I have are capacity differences in equal barrel lengths, I assume 44mag holds more but not sure how many more or even if thats true.
- Ammo cost, not sure which costs more (I dont reload)
- Lastly, weight, Again assuming we have 2 identical length barrel rifles one is 44mag and one in 30/30 which weighs more, holds, more, etc.
- Reliability, do they function the same or is one inherently more reliabel than the other?
- Laslty, any good reccomendations for brands or models. I dont need top of the line, just looking for a solid reliable performer
