>tube loading in a gun larger than .22

.45-70 or nothing
Remove injun

>>31714229
would it be overkill?

>>31714247
No such thing.

>>31714256
the velocity would be much tho

>>31714239
this
loading gate or nothing

Invest in electronic hearing protection.

No, but the Henry 44 Magnum Carbine or Mare's Leg would be. The full-sized is too big to move around with effectively in-doors.

ON an unrelated topic the fun you posted is wonderful for hunting. The 44 goes through brush like a dream.

Get a Marlin 45-70 and stop being a stupid ass loser.

>>31714219
Better than a shotgun.

Who makes a good loading gate in high powered pistol calibers like .44 mag and .357?

>>31715932
Marlin

>>31715932
Chiappa if you want a Winchester clone, Marlin if you plan to mount a scope.

>>31715932
>>31715954
Marlin 1894 of various stripes.

Overkill is underrated

>>31714219
A 44 magnum with a metal butt plate will probably hurt.

Do it, anon. Just go all the way. Get a Martini Henry. Throw 400 grains of .577/450 downrange. Remove Zulu. It is your birthright.

Remember OP, it's generally best to ignore the advice of people who can only communicate in memes.

>>31714219

Yes.

I mean, .44Mag is no fuckin joke. You hit someone center mass with a 240Gr LFN and they get back up, you dump the tube into them.

If they get back up after THAT, you've got some real fucking problems.

I am just gonna tell ya to go Makarov

>>31714219
It will kill something and is better than no gun, but generally is one of the least effective guns you can choose for home defense.

Stop letting Communist Batman shitpost.

While revolver caliber leverguns are a good overlooked SD option, the way Henry's load makes them poor choices imo.

The other rifles mentioned in this thread are $500-700.

>>31719575
I wish they'd start making rifles in normal lever calibers, they seem like real quality pieces.

it's a slow firing rifle that is longer than an AR. if you can shoot it and it can kill stuff then sure. There are better options, but it should do the job if you can do the job.
