I preferr the Marlin 1894 lever action carbine chambered to fire .357 mag or .38 cal pistol rounds. Make excellent campanion for the .38 or .357 revolvers. Ammo is plenty and cheaper. Good stopping power too.

BTW, I fired his .375 with reduced `Cream of Wheat' loads, then full factory loads. Not that bad.

Depends on your build. I weigh 150 lbs soaking wet. I have fired the .375, .458, and .416 Rigby. Each time, I handed said rifle back to the owner, then wiped the tears from my eyes. Freaking OUCH! 2oz 12 gauge turkey loads I found to be almost as painful.
