That would be a great gun for you guys. Shooting .38's through it, it will have both minimal recoil and report. Take the plug out of the magazine tube (you didn't hear that here...) and it will hold 13. It will be more accurate, and have a better trigger than, the Mini-14. It's also a lot of fun just to cycle the lever between shots - you will find yourself working on that technique, trying to improve speed and accuracy. Don't be surprised if, at some point, you are faster at hitting things with the lever gun than with the Mini 14. It will also knock the bigger, heavier targets around with more authority than the .223. Like bowling pins and stuff. IMHO, lever guns are the most fun to be had in "plinking" rifles.
