Years ago, I had a lever action .22; I think it was a Browning. I distinctly remember that the magazine tube could be unloaded from the muzzle end, negating the necessity of unloading via using the lever. Do any modern big-bore (specifically .44 magnum) lever actions have this feature? I think the answer is no. Why not? I'm guessing there is some sort of design limitation. I know Ruger makes a .44 lever with a rotary magazine, making unloading a snap (not counting a live round in the chamber), but The Ruger has two limitations, in my opinion. First, magazine capacity is only four. Second, it does not have that historical western look. Thanks for your input.
