Rifle/Pistol Choice

[monwa]

I want to carry a lever gun and a revolver in like cartridge.

Mostly for dangerous game Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska and other small and smaller big game use when needed.

Do you think I should just go SW460/Casull/45Colt with 45 Colt sidearm?

44mag or 357mag?

They will mainly be camp gun, horse back, quad, motorcycle... And for FUN too.

Mostly for dangerous game

That would be the 30-30, then.

I don't think I would trust any hand gun cartridge to truly dangerous game.

For a lever gun, get a Marlin 1895 in .45/70 and whatever handgun you want, but pray you never have to use it. And if by "smaller game" you mean whitetail size, then it will work, if a little heavy handed. If you mean rabbits... probably not. hahaha.

Marlin 1895 45-70 and the magnum research 45-70 bfr.

.45-70...I am a hudge fan but...

Get a Puma M92 IN .454 Casull and a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull or a S&W .460...

I read this a lot (3rd time this week), and while there's some validity to this approach, it's an easily-overrated attribute, IMO, since, for serious purposes (e.g. dangerous game), you'd be using (and carrying) different loads for each gun.
