I highly recommend the Rossi 1892 clone. The 1892 has a super smooth action, unlike the Winchester '94. Mine is a EMF (made by Rossi) 1892 saddle ring carbine with 20 inch barrel and color case hardened finish in .38/357. Handles both 38 and 357 with ease. With .38 Specials it's like shooting a .22 LR on steroids, but stoke it with 158 grain .357 magnum rounds and it shoots like a real man's rifle. I've taken several south Arkansas whitetails with mine.
