Anyone have any opinions or likes/dislikes about particular models? Any info is appreciated, been on the verge of buying one for quite a while, when I hunt by myself i normally ease in and shoot em.....im lazy haha, honestly I enjoy easin in with a gun and getting to watch the bay without dealing with my bulldog, just makes it easier. The places i hunt are all deer leases and i have to kill every hog i catch.......sorry, rambling.......anyway as far as lever guns go, which is your go to?

as far as round choice, .22 or .22mag is hard to beat...as far as model, i would say handle as many as possible to see what handles and shoulders the best to fit YOU. Everyone is different, especially in a quick shot moment. An old model 94 is hard to beat, but the Marlin's and Henry's should be able to be found cheaper.

Some of the guys I know carry 44 mag lever guns. Others I know carry 30-30. There is a Winchester teddy Roosevelt in the classified section right now. Killed my first solo deer with one just like it. Anyway I tote either a 22 semi auto or 22mag bolt. It's what I got. I also tote a 357 in case a head shot isn't offered.

357 mag, 44 mag or 30-30 in that order. Love the short barrel easier to manuver in the thick brush.

I agree with all calibers posted except the 357... It's had a tendency to pass all the way through pigs with me... Has very rarely happened with the 44.... Don't know if it's just me or if it happens with others but that's just my thoughts

I'd say the 357 for the fact you have two guns in one
when you don't want to pay the price for the 357 ammo 38SPL works just as good

I used to have a Rossi 44 mag lever action that carried in the woods. Loved it! You can get them in different calibers and they used to be comparetively cheap but I don't know anymore.
