Lever actions are like potato chips.
It's hard to stop at just one.
One caution, though.
Some cartridges that work just fine in revolvers won't necessarily feed from a tube magazine lever action.
If you want to use the same rounds in both a revolver and the rifle, check to see if the cartridge of choice actually can do double duty.
