I and thinking of a older lever gun with some old knock down. Maybe a Win .348, 45/7 or 45/90. I also like the 444 Marlin, but maybe in an older lever gun.
Anyone gone this route?

What do you want to knockdown? Elk? Bear? Hogs?
I have a Marlin 1895 (45-70) that's a nice piece or work. Also a 1955 Marlin 336 in 35 Rem., not so much knockdown but fun to shoot.

Ballards are lever guns. I don't know about knockdown power but they get the job done Marlin's beat Winchesters every time if you have to do the multishooter.

Less knockdown but plenty of ability nonetheless. I love the old lever guns. Single shots or multishots

Anything disagreeable, but also paper and silhouettes. Just wanna punch big holes. In that case, look at the .38-40 and .44-40 lever guns. There are lots of old ones out there, and they are just a blast to shoot (yes, bad pun and all). I don't really know why I like them so much, but I do. I can load the tube with a dozen or more rounds and just bang away at whatever. They are surprisingly accurate and yet cheap and easy to shoot. It's nothing to shoot up 100 rounds of ammo in a couple of hours of shooting. Sort of like a giant .22, but the big bullets ring the gongs pretty well and punch holes that are easy to see.

Thanks. Tasty one it was too. The cartridge was the good ol' .45-70, loaded with black and paper patched bullets.
