Need ideas: A different type of Ranch Rifle?

[mrrev]

+1 for Marlin 1894c in 38/357
It's light, easy handling and you have the choice of various loads.

Something different.

Perhaps this would be a possibility http://www.quackenbushairguns.com/308_exile.html

How about Winchester 9410. 410 slugs/shot won't travel too far. How long is the longest shot you need?

Thinking of a .410 shotgun, while the 9410 would offer magazine capacity, that's all it'll offer compared with an H&R hinge action single-shot using buckshot. With slugs, the 9410 might offer an advantage with that express rear sight. The H&R would be cheaper... if you get a .30-30 HandiRifle and get a .410 barrel, you'd be about set.

lever, lever, or a lever. they are super easu to carry, super light, come in many cals, and hold many rounds in the tube.

Just because the largest four-legged critter around is a coyote does not mean you will never have to deal with one or more two-legged vermin as well. Any misdirected shot, even from a .22 LR, has the potential to go a long ways and hurt someone. I would suggest as a minimum something like the .22 Hornet.

My own preference might be one of those neat little CZ bolt-actions in 7.62x39.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys.

I decided that the best choice for me might be the Marlin lever 32 H&R Mag.

I'm a huge fan of the caliber, I already reload for it, I have a ton of brass, and I know it will meet my requirements. Now I just have to sell a couple of milsurps.

Thanks again, all.
