They are available in .40 S&W -- at $190, it seems like a bargain.

Same here...good little carbines!

I ended up buying a Marlin.  A lever gun,  the 1894 in .44mag.  I chose the cowboy model because I wanted a bit longer barrel.  I also loved the look of the octagon barrel and the Marble sights.  

After looking at everything, the lever gun seemed a good option.  Holds 10+1 and with some training should allow really fast follow-up shots.

Mike ..... I doubt you'll be disappointed .... fine rifle.

I have the ''std'' version ... and tho a tad shorter it shoots very well .... only downside as a reloader is - micro-groove barrel!  But - it thrives on Mag-Tec ammo! :)

Sorry - not one of my better pics!

Chris:
I see you don't have the pistol-grip version.  I hate the look of the pistol-grip on a lever gun.  Tell me about the scope you have mounted on it.

R9SCarry:
Pistol grip???  Hey Mike - when it comes to lever actions I am Mr Purist!! ;D  Pistol grip?  On a lever?  Nahh!! (shudder!) - like you.

The ''scope''? ........... actually, a red dot ..... 30mm ''Miradot'' .. a real cheapo Chink manufacture!  I have added ''something'' to about all my long guns now ..... some have halfways decent scopes .. I also have a coupla Leupolds but for most part .. have resorted to red dots otherwise .... my eyes just struggle so much with irons.

Generally, and accepting some parallax .. the cheapo red dots are not that bad .... this gun will manage very capably at 100yds ... with just the simple red dot ... so it suits me fine.  It's hard to justify Millets and Aimpoints on everything!
