Either of these fine choices would be trumpted by the obvious KING .....

A 12 ga. shot gun

The lever gun is no slouch ....... I own a 94 Marlin in .357 ..... and yes, .38's work well ........

And I own a couple of AR's ........

Per hit ...... a good JHP like the Remington 125 would do wonders ..... over an AR .....

If you were barracaded away from more ammo ........... an AR with at least a 20 round mag full would certainly hold up longer than the Lever with it's 8-10 rounds .........

The pointability of a gun often gets over looked ......... ergonomically .... an AR is just about tops if you work with it ........

The lever gun is good and if you don't train much ...... it would win on being most instinctive over the AR ..........

My choice is none of the above .......... make mine a 4" 629 Mountain Gun (.44 mag) ........

....... with this I fight my way (twelve feet distant) to a large stash of long guns (rifled and smooth bore) and pick the one that best suits the particular problem at hand.
