I've been thinking lately about a nicer lever gun, a Winchester or Uberti in an 1873 model. I've been thinking about the 1873 since I heard Marlene talk about it. (thanks a lot Marlene for getting me interested in another expensive gun!!!)
So now is the time to think about caliber. I am not interested in CAS competition. This will be a sort of ranch rifle, good for dispatching predators, 2 or 4 legged. What I am interested is smooth fast action and good ballistics.
Sooo.....
357 mag, 44 mag, 45LC and 44-40. All the pros and cons please. I know y'all are loaded with info. All is appreciated.
EDIT: Not interested in 30-30
44mag vs 45LC vs 357mag in lever gun
