Same damage, same max-range.
The Winchester reaches a bit farther before 1/2 damage range; is WAY lighter and a bit handier at the expense of magazine capacity, rate of fire and ease of reloading.
Oh, and it's readily available 65 years sooner and can be had without getting the law involved in the purchase in most gaming worlds.
That was one thought that the now sadly deceased OdinAllFather Jeff Cooper thought too. That the Winchester carbine was a very capable carry rifle that lent itself to patrolling use. In the urban environment with closer range, the .357 Magnum chambered lever carbines are useful. In handguns, well thought of violence stopping round. In a longer barrel, even more potent. And with additional rounds in the magazine tube.
