Looking for 2nd lever gun. Any advice on what to look for next?
My wife for my birthday bought me my first lever, a 10mm Marlin 1894 and I absolutely love it. Took her shooting for the first time last month and now she's wanting her own lever and a pistol. I want to get her one for Christmas. I have an idea on the pistol to get her but looking for ideas for her own lever action. She's only going to be shooting targets with it and I know she wants something bigger than a .22. so looking for options that are good pistol caliber and can mount some sort of optic to. Bonus would be being able to customize it as well. Let me know what I should look for. Looking to keep it under $1500.
