Hi Gents,
Two years ago, I got my first lever action. A 50's production Winchester 1894 in .30-30. Really like the gun. Good kick, steel butt plate, just enough oopmh. For one reason or another, I have became infatuated with a lever gun in .357 mag. I just cannot seem to find a reason to buy one. I guess whitetails within 100 yards- but, to me, that is no fun. Plinking would be expensive to make it go BANG (I guess it can go bang with .38spl. Should I just be stepping up to the plate and getting a .45-70? I would like to use it for deer; I have recently moved to the midwest and could possibly be after larger game. Opinions from owners of either caliber would be greatly appreciated.
