I'm finally working again (woo hoo!!) and after I do a little financial damage control I'm going to begin rebuilding my gun collection starting with a levergun in .44 mag.
I'm really liking this http://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/henry-big-boy-steel/ And I've never heard anyone say anything bad about the quality of a Henry while Marlin 1894s, though improving, still get mixed reviews if you can even find them.
The catch is that the rifle will have to double as an HD gun until I can save up for another firearm. While 11 rounds of .44 mag would likely be more than enough to deal with any threat I face (something statistically unlikely to happen at all) in the event I did need to reload in a dangerous situation, the Henry's lack of a loading gate would make things slow to say the least.
Like most firearms enthusiasts, I'm probably overthinking this.
