Buy recommendations Lever action 44mag or 30-30

Can someone please suggest?

I only shoot in range. No hunting. I don’t like 357mag.

Shoot from 15yard to 100yard

Thank you!

Why don’t you like .357 mag ? .357 mag out of a carbine is ridiculous, it will do anything a .44 mag will do but for cheaper.

.357 cowboy silhouette shooting is a fucking blast. 44 is fun for cosplaying Dirty Harry at the range but I'll take saving $40 a range trip for what amounts to the same/better target results.

And you can plink 38special with it . That was why I went that route.

I have both. I can assure you, that's just not true. The 357's probably more fun to blast with, but the 44 has SUBSTANTIALLY more stomp to it, it's not even close.
