Hope I can ask about rifles here.

Don't know anything about centerfire rifles so here goes. Was wondering about a multi target longer than handgun range home defense rifle. Caliber, action etc, don't want a hi$ gun as it will just be an in house gun, have a 357 handgun and was wondering about one in that caliber. Don't know the cost of ammo or what you can find to even buy, any thoughts? Move if needed.

I would rather have a home defense pump shotgun than a rifle......and I never cared for rifles that shoot handgun cartridges....If you get a rifle get one that shoots a rifle cartridge....just my thoughts

If you are looking for a rifle to match the caliber pistol you have check out the Winchester model 94 in .357. Just read up on it is a sweet looking little gun can also shoot 38 special for target and plinking

Nothing wrong with a rifle that shoots handgun rounds just kinda pricey or crappy one. A 20 auto or pump with reduced recoil buttshot will do nicely and the Mrs can handle it just fine. Open bore and ya don't even have to do much aiming!!!

That would go good with Steves western style pistols too.....and his Stetson hat

Looking for something that will reach out a little farther than a shotgun. Will be getting a shotgun too.

Put the rite choke in the shotgun and it will reach plenty for, better than 50 yards all day long.
