While you can't get much bigger in caliber than .44-40, I think the Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine is just a firearms work of art. Smooth, accurate, light, most of them have ladder sights, it's just a great gun.
Personally I like the 1892 better than the 1894, because the '94 has a sloppy lever because Winchester cheapened their production, but the '92's lever always feels flawless regardless.
Or you could buy one of those cool new legal pistol length "Mare's Leg" guns, and with Zombieland coming out, that should become popular.
