Buy recommendations Help me with lever action Rifles

Hey everybody, im kinda new to owning guns, been around them all my life, but im in a pickle. Im looking for a decent lever rifle mainly for target practice, im looking for something bigger than a .22 but dont know if I need to go up to a 30-06 or 308 just yet. Any recommendations what to get in canada. Have a few shotguns and a .22 already. Thanks

If it is just for target practice I would look at the calibre options in the rifles you are considering and then find something that is fairly cheap to shoot. Something like 308 is much higher than some other option in terms of price per shot, and it is really overkill unless you are hunting or planning to shoot long distance. Even something like a 9mm would hug much harder than a 22 and still be affordable to blast through a cowboy gun.
