I have a winchester (reproduction) M-92 in .44 Mag that I like to use in the woods environment. It's light and handles well and just fits the image of the hunters of yesteryear.....the 44 mag is no slouch either. It's not much beyond 100 yards but it's not too often to shoot farther than that in the woods.

Marlin makes a 41 mag rifle too that I'd think would be a great pistol round in a rifle. However that's as small as I'd go. The .357 rounds are a bit lacking IMO.
Different strokes I guess....
