Buy recommendations Next gun advice.

Im looking to buy a lever gun for plinking and target practice. So far I have a ruger 10/22, cz 457 and a benelli supernova 12 gauge. I've got my eyes on the marlin 1894 or smith & wesson 1854 in .357 or a henry supreme in .223. Any advice on which one would be better overall? Leaning towards the henry supreme at the moment since ammo is cheaper.

I have a couple older Marlin 44’s. Unfortunately micro barrels are inaccurate with most OTC ammo, but otherwise they’re absolutely fantastic rifles. Very very fun. I’d go lever 357 and shoot 38special for cheap. Big fat bullets going slow are where it’s at for plinking and range fun. Get a bolt for the 223. IMO.
