If you do go the carbine route, Ruger makes a bolt-action 357 carbine if it would be your knock-around gun on the farm. Out to 100 yds. you can kill a deer reliably.


Let my brother call dibs on dad's never fired, still in box, lever action Marlin .357 carbine about 15 yrs ago when dad was passing some of his guns to us kids and I have regretted it ever since. But honestly my brother lives where he can actually put it to practical use while I live in town.
