If you could only have one lever gun

[gjgalligan]

Only one? Is skipping a lever gun entirely an option?

It is for me.
I have no desire to have a lever action at all.

This thread has me wanting a lever action. Have a couple of S&W revolvers in .357 so it makes sense to stick with that round. Who makes the best .357 lever rifle?

My choices are:
1. Winchester Model 1873 or 1892 .357 Magnum
2. Henry Big Boy .357 Magnum
3. Uberti 1873 .357 Magnum
4. Pre-2007 Marlin (JM Stamped)

In that order.

If you like lever guns, they are like Lay's Potato Chips, "No one can have just one."

Probably be my Marlin 445 Supermag, seeing how I have a Dan Wesson 445 Supermag revolver to match.

What cartridge would you take? Use case is irrelevant for this question, you only get one regardless of what you decide to use it for:
-45-70?
-The classic 30-30?
-22lr?

Or something in a pistol caliber? (Or something all entirely different?)

.44 Magnum

Henry Big Boy All Weather in 45 Colt to pair with my Ruger New Blackhawk Bisley.
