RE: Lever-Action Rifles for pistol calibers cartridges
I briefly owned a Win 94 Trapper in .44 Mag....pretty loud, but it shot fairly well, and it fit in the dry box on my ATV. I heard someone talking about it being offered in .480, but not sure of the legitimacy on that issue.
If I remember correctly that gun groupd about 3" with iron sights at 100 yards off a bench....and it was extremely light and handy.
