The best carrying rifle I've ever owned was a Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum. Nothing handier on this earth, I think. Even handier and lighter than a M94, even. It even holds more ammo than the 94, and at "woods ranges", a .44 Magnum is plenty effective on whitetails. Check one out, if you can find one close, and see what you think.
Handy, light, effective, and fun to pack around.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
