I am looking into getting a Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum. I plan on using this rifle for Michigan whitetails under 100 yards, range shooting for the fun of it, and I will keep it under the bed (least of my concerns). This will also be the gun I grab in the event of a catastrophe. I am open to your opinions on your favorite cartridge that this gun comes in. I really like the .44 because of the 10 round capacity, lower recoil, and a tiny chance I may get a revolver some day. I don't think I want the 30-30 or .308 because I already have a 7mm-08 which covers the scoped rifle category. I plan on using the open sights.
