I decided to get a Henry .22lr large lever carbine. Might be 30 days or so until my LGS can get one. It suits my need to punch holes in paper, knock over plates and ring gongs, and get started in lever guns. Price is dirt cheap IMHO. I was really impressed with the action of the Henry I handled recently. If I need big booms and a sore shoulder, I have my M44 Mosin carbine to satisfy that need, and besides, a low power pistol caliber carbine (.38/.357) is already handled by my .30 cal. M1 Carbines. Thanks all for the input.

Thanks JALLEN. Does the Trapper have provisions for mounting a reflex sight forward of the breach, should I decide to mount one (threaded holes for a short rail)? Also, one of the things I should have mentioned was that I preferred side eject over top eject.

A thread is running for the Winchester 94AE, and I don't want to derail it, so I'll start a new one.

I'd like a carbine size (16" bbl) lever action in .38/.357, preferable with a larger loop than standard, and most importantly a butter smooth action. I recently felt the action of a Henry that I liked, but it is not available in .38/.357. Rossi makes a 16" bbl large loop in that caliber, but I have not felt the action. So, I'm looking for advice from lever folks for what might fit my desires. I'm just starting my search, and am in no hurry for this.
