I guess I really didn't mention what I wanted this for did I?? Haha, my mistake. The 45-70 is definitely a consideration because I'd love a big bore. But I'm probaby leaning more to a lighter caliber, possibly something chambered in .357 or the like.
No, there are three more.There are only two other true lever gun cartridges. The rest are impostors or pretenders.
Yes, forgot about that "true" lever gun cartridge.Ah.....22 Savage Hi Power
Yep, I got it confused with the Marlin 1894M...The 9422M is a Winchester, I bought mine circa 1984. It is a wonderful rifle and one of my all time favorites. Mine has a little 4X scope on it and it is a great shooter.
The 45-70 can be loaded way down and still be effective for deer. But it is a big bore, lol, so I can see your point.
