My favorite was a Winchester 94 trapper. It'd handle OAL which would not feed through a '92 clone or Marlin 1894. Regardless of what SHOULD happen, what DID happen is it shot very well with long 300s .. 3/4 inch or less at 50 yards .. despite the 1-38" twist.

Buying today, new, I'd go with a Marlin 1894, either the Cowboy rifle or the new SBL.
