I'm with those that say two different rifles/optimal functions, despite the inevitable comparisons as to similar format. I don't have the Deerfield but do have .44 Mag levers in 16" and 20" barrels - as well as GI M1 Carbines. Love them both for different reasons - and within their purposes have zero bad to say about either. HD (home and immediate perimeter), pest'ing and, ammo cost aside, plinking fun - M1 gets the nod. Bear country camping and hunting deer on up, the .44. Lower elevations (out west) camp gun, take your pick.
