You know what... your right. Since I live where straight wall cartridges, or shotgun is the requirement, I decided that my Marlin 1894-44 Magnum needed a partner. I just ordered the Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in 45-70. I will have it Tuesday.

If you are looking at mating a revolver and longarm, any of the pistol cartridges will work fine. Just select your bullet/load carefully and keep your shots reasonable. With the .357s good bullets 158gr or heavier should do the job nicely.

I have .357, .44 and .444Marlin and all are capable of taking a whitetail.
