Nice piece.
Avoid the Winchester .357 carbines like the plague.
I got less than 50 rounds through a brand new one and the cartridge stop lip on the loading lever broke off and jammed it up.
My gunsmith welded it up, but said most of the Win 94 carbines he had seen in .357 had this problem.
Depending on the size of the pigs, I like the Marlin Guide Guns in .45-70 with handloads. Not a good pistol round though.
