[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1831018, member: 110773"] Dad gave me his Browning B92 .44 Mag rifle back in the 1980's. Plenty of fun and cheap to shoot. I also have other levers in .22LR, .30-30, .375 Win and .45-70. All are good, all are capable hunters withing their range limits. Have taken deer and elk at ranges over 300 yards with the .45-70 and would easily do so at 300. The .375 Win is a step beind the .45-70 in terms of the range I would use and the others are behind the .375 Win. If you are never going to hunt with the rifle a pistol cartridge chamber makes a lot of sense whether you shoot factory or handloads. With no diminishment of the fun of a lever. In that case I would probably go with a .357 Mag for low recoil and cheaper ammo/reloads. [/QUOTE]
