The Small Game rifles are fun. As you point out, Great Grandad kept his family fed with .36 caliber flintlocks so we could take deer if we felt the need with small game rifles and cartridges.
I also have a 24" Contender barrel in .32 H&R Magnum which may be the best carrying and shooting rifle of the 4. The long barrel makes the TC a self opener when the lever is tripped. The rifle equipped with a Williams Guide receiver sight and Williams shorty ramp weighs less than 6 pounds.
ALL 4 rifles have a different bore diameter, a different COL and a generous throat. This creates an interesting problem when pairing ammunition between rifles and revolvers. A gunwriter could write an interesting article on the differences between the rifles and tailoring ammunition to suit them.
