Wait a second.....
1: A lever gun is to much trouble to unload quickly. You don’t want to get charged with “road hunting”.
Answer: Ok. So unless I’m missing something, that’s a pretty incriminating statement. Sounds like you’re worried about being pulled over and having a loaded rifle in your vehicle. How about you just don’t drive around with a loaded rifle? I can unload my 10+1 1894 in 44mag in about 8 seconds. My 5+1 444 in about the same amount of time. And it takes about 15-30 seconds to load them.
2. You want an action stronger than a lever gun. But you want to shoot a “primarily” lever gun cartridge. That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. But to each their own.
It does sound bad, that's not exactly what I meant about the road hunting thing. I was talking about having to unload on the way back to the truck. You do have a good point though. I guess "quickly" was a poor choice of words. We use dogs to deer hunt in addition to stand hunting. So that adds the challenge of staying in front of the dogs. When you have full size Walker hounds they can cover a LOT of ground in a short time. So sometimes you have to drive from one off-road place to another traveling public roads in between.
AGFC definition of road hunting is having a loaded gun outside the vehicle within 50 yards of the center line of any public road.
