Lever rifle for SD

[BobM]

I've got a Marlin 1894 in .44 Mag., a full-size Henry Big Boy, and a Big Boy Carbine, both in .357 Mag. I'm confident that any of them could be effective for self defense, if necessary. Buckshot from a 12 gauge is the best fight stopper in my home, but I assume that a .44 Magnum round from a rifle-length barrel would be an adequate substitute at home-defense distances. I'd still prefer to use a shotgun, but I can work my lever-actions almost as well as a pump, and I doubt many bad guys can outlast the 10-shot capacity in the rifles (or 7 in the carbine).

I do agree with the other posters who wonder why self-defense applications have to be considered for every type of firearm. Golf Clubs can also be used for self-defense, but I highly doubt that Golf Digest gives a self-defense score to any of the clubs they review.

It may be too late? The possible plague has started?
Just scope it and it's good to go?

And this was also the assault weapon of it's time but it doesn't make it relevant by today's standards!

The crossbow is way too outdated for me that's why I only carry my tactical assault hot dog for self defense.....

Sorry this particular model doesn't have the OSP option so those toppings aren't compatible....
