I'm not a fan of redundancy but for better or worse that's pretty much the name of game with many gun folk today. Personally, I'd be lookin to sell 2 of your 3 current rifles, not lookin to add another in a similar game range. Adding a .44 lever action is absolutely redundant.

I do however prefer guns using the same cartridge. Not for any fantasy thoughts of running around the woods for weeks or months and needing long and short guns that fire the same cartridge but instead out of convenience. I'd rather reload one cartridge than 2 or 2 rather than 3, etc.

So your thoughts on the .44 carbine are valid. IMO you don't lose much if anything vs. the .30-30 and you'll gain in handling with most of the pistol caliber carbines. I don't have a .44 revolver so I'd just stick with the .30-30. But you can bet your shorts that if I did I'd be lookin hard at trading to a .44 carbine if I had that in a revolver.
