I have all sorts of lever guns, Winchester 30/30, Marlins in 45/70 and .35 Remington, Henry .22', but the ones I shoot and enjoy the most are a Rossi .44 Magnum 16" carbine (4.8 pounds!) and a Rossi 20" barrel .357. Smooth handling, accurate and light weight. I handload for both rifles, and have handguns to pair up with them, so there is much lever rifle happiness here!
