Take a look at the following
if the 44 is all ya need look at the Ruger carbine in either semi auto or the lever version
Now if you are lookin for something with a bit more knock down look at the Marlin 336D in 35 Rem. AND for even more harumpf look into the Marlin 444P or the 1895G in 45/70 The latter 2 are 18.5" barrels and commonly refered to as Guide Guns. Short, fast and easy. Either is also very capable in taking just about any north american game we hunt out to 200 yards (even more in the right hands) I shoot the 444 using the Hornady 265 gr light mag factory loads and it anchors em real good.
