and you would be correct, Henry produces 22 S/L/LR in 42 lines ..... this thread was addressing the most popular centerfire calibers .... for centerfires the 44 Mag/SPL is the most popular with it featured in 16 lines

:lol: Easy, neither,
Just save some here and there and get the Henry also.
What a combo, hey man whatcha got?
Aah just this Henry 357, a Marlin 45-70, and Ruger 44 mag. :D

I picked up my .357 Big Boy Steel Carbine yesterday, and ordered up some goodies for it this morning. I still think I’m going to sell the .44 as I want another Jeep after selling my old CJ7 last year, and the money from the Ruger would help to up my budget for that. I’ve got a really nice M1 Carbine as well, so I’m covered for fun semi autos;)

I wish I had never gotten rid of the 60's CJ5 I had :cry: Long gone since 1979.

I have a few vehicles I wish I never sold. But there is along list of ones I still want to own, so I buy and sell my “extra” vehicles fairly regularly.

We're lifers when it comes to vehicles. Buy certified used. Drive them until maintenance costs get too high then donate to the high school auto shop.

Back to topic, to date .30-30 is my favorite. My next favorite might be .223/5.56 for that someday Long Ranger.

I would have bought my BBS Carbine in .30-30 if it was offered. I honestly can’t believe they don’t do a .30-30 Carbine in any model. It’s a missed opportunity. That said, I think for close quarters PNR coastal deer, the .357 should do the trick. I seldom see anything past 60 yards.
