38/357 and 44 lever guns 16"
A little out of touch of the current offerings
I have a good supply of hot loaded .44 mag (my dad loaded it) and I will never shoot this out of handgun.
I also have a good supply of jacketed .38 and some .357
plus I have reloading supplies for these calibers.
I always wanted a Winchester 16" 44 mag Trapper or possibly a Wrangler (not sure on the BIG OL WIN LOOP) especially in the 90s when they were tac-ing them out back then.
I never went in that direction as the writings (pre net) was the preference of no cross bolt safety but IIRC, there was no offerings in 16" pistol calibers.
I would like to put a low mounted red dot and the railed receivers are inviting but I dont want to buy the wrong one the first time.
I have recently read negatives on both current issue Marlin 1894SBL in 44 or 357 and Henry X Big Boy in the same calibers. More along the lines you might get lucky and get a good one to include the opposite.
Can you offer opinions on 16" offerings in 44 and 357?
if I need to start looking for older and opt away from a railed receiver, I hope someone makes a optic mount.
The purpose of these will be plinking and general home/truck protection.
I was looking at Browning B92 but it appears they only come in 20" and I would prefer the handier shorter barrel.
I like the Marlin 1894SBL but damn.... pricing sure went up.
thanks in advance
