[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1829379, member: 30902"] Pistol caliber LA's actually make a lot of sense and the 44m, 45LC in particular make excellent short range hunting rounds as well. Just figure that even for deer sized game 50-75yds should probably be your upper limit. The .444m and 45-70 aren't cheap to shoot and neither is lacking for recoil but they make outstanding short range game cartridges suitable for any game in North America. Marlin also did a substantial run in .338 Marlin Express which is an excellent round as well and it pretty well mirrors the 30-06 ballistically for about 500 yards. The older JM stamped Marlins as well as the most recently produced Marlins are excellent rifles. There were a few years after the move however where they had some fairly serious QC issues. The Henry's are pricey but excellent rifles. [/QUOTE]
