I am looking to buy a good multi-purpose rifle I live in the country off a gravel road that people like to dump animals and some of these have attempted to harm the ones that I own. I use a single shot 12 ga as of now but would like more distance 100-200 yds. I would also like the rifle for small game such as rabbit and squirrel. But the occasional deer would be good. So long story short. A steel sight lever gun because I'm a lefty and already own a 308 bolt gun. I just want it to fit a scabbard, ride in the truck and atv, and kill what I shoot clean cause I don't want to mame. I'm looking at the marlin 336bl or 1894c but would consider a rossi or different but am not sure on what caliber and rifle to choose. Even thought I would love a 45-70 marlin guide gun but not on a stray dog it would need to be bigger game for that baseball of a bullet.
