...and don't ever let someone tell you that 357 magnum carbine isn't enough to kill bigger game. People take down mule deer, elk, and bears with archery equipment. Decent ammunition and good shot placement from a good .357 magnum carbine will work just fine in a pinch. As a bonus, if you are shooting a 357 lever action carbine, you can stuff it full of .38 special bullets when you are just trying to improve your marksmanship skills on a budget.
Just sayin'

Agree with the utility of the lever gun, sir. I have a Winchester Trapper Carbine in .357, but found the 1mm difference in cartridge length created some challenges with cycling the .38. Maybe not an issue with something other than Winchester.
