I was wondering which caliber I should get a lever action in. it would either be a marlin 1894 or a 336. The .357 is cheapish and takes cheaper .38 special but is a .357 out of an 18 inch barrel adequate for dear. The .44 is more powerful than the .357 but it costs more and .44 special is about the same price. 30-30 is the most expensive but I believe it is middle in power I know this can take a dear. Also what kind of groupings ant 100 yards? I would probably use the .38 for coyote and plinking.
