That's awesome, Tim-That CX Guy! Any recommendations on a good rife for targets and possible home defense? (We live country-adjacent with coyotes and possible mountain lions). I figure, with a lever action and a shoulder strap, I could hold/fire and cycle the lever fairly easily and not have to worry about jamming (like I frequently do on my semi-auto 10-22)
I currently have a Ruger 10-22 and a
6" Colt Python inherited/gifted to me by my dad that I take to the range a few times a year. Been wanting something like a AR15 but decided that it's too much headache in CA... so I've been eyeing getting a Marlin 1894 Lever-Action .357 Magnum, so I can use the same rounds in the pistol and the rifle - I'd thought about going with bigger calibers (eg 30-30) but it just seem to be more practical to go with the option that unifies all my (cheap .38/.357) ammo between the revolver and rifle.
