Hi Forum,
Ok I have read a few threads ( a lot) and I know you can read volumes on lever action rifles. But…
I want one for 95% target shooting.
I know I don't want a .22
Here is my questions:
1 Caliber? I'd like it to have a decent amount of power, yet not break the bank on ammunition. So, is it cost effective to even think about reloading a 30-30 shell? ( I don't reload yet, but it looks so interesting!) This would be my choice if I could get rounds for lets say 50 cents a piece.
If a nice dream then...
Which Pistol caliber would fit the bill ammunition wise? Does .357, .44 Magnum, or??? I have a .357 pistol, but wouldn't mind a larger bang with more knock down power for a rifle.
2 Whose make and model should I look for? I am probably going to buy it used, so any pointers to look for? IE, loose action, certain wear marks, etc.
Thanks for your help, looking forward to your ideas to help me make a logical decision.
