think I read the action may come a little grainy but can be butter with a little work.

i have a KelTec sub2000 in .40 which is supposed to give about as much energy as a .357 revolver from what I've read. kept telling myself that's all the small rifle I need. but man those lever actions are just too cool.

I think I would try to do some hunting with one if Was to ever get one. bet it would do a good job on rabbits with .38. if not hunting then probaably run a gang of .38 special through it for giggles.
