I have a couple that are fun and cheap to shoot. I can load .38 or .30-30 with a cast bullet for less than a 22 RF round costs.

One is a Handi Rifle that is now a .357 MAXIMUM. I can load it to be a 22 RF or a .35 Remington.

Others are Marlin, Winchester 94 or Topper 158 30-30s. With a cast 113 bullet and 7 grs of Green Dot, I have a good small game load or plinker. With 3 grs. of Clays, I have a garden pest gun that I can shoot while neighbors are on their decks. It sounds about like a car door being closed. At 30 yards it will anchor a tree rat, possum or coon raiding my garden. I am told that it will solve a feral cat problem.
