You need a .38-55 WIN. Four of us got those when Mississippi first went to modern primitive. We killed well over 50 deer with them and never lost one. Not sure I even recall a miss. Mild recoil. Get the Buffalo Bore ammo and limit shots to 150 yards.

.38-55 is something that I’d really like to see make a comeback. I’d love a new lever action in that caliber.

I like that you listed a 44mag. Go rifle or pistol. Seems like a good option.

My next purchase, since I already own several large calibers for big game, will be a Henry lever 22 mag.
Hog, small game, and outlaw special.

might i suggest 204 instead


I wouldnt mind getting one to play with. One of the most accurate cartridges ever. You could hit the hair on a gnats arse.

I have this in a .308. Really good rifle for the money. I have a Magpul American Hunter on order for it. Just waiting for it to get here.
