You are going to enjoy that modern 92!
Many moons ago I stepped into the same realm when I acquired a fantastic Marlin Model 1894 chambered in .44 Mag. That rifle was nothing but fun to shoot. I installed an aperture receiver sight on it, and you would be truly surprised of its accuracy.
What has been said is true. Full-blown .44 Mag. in a light carbine can kick!
The Marlin left me a lot of years ago, but I'm not cured. Currently I have three original Winchester 92s: a .44-40, a .32-20, and a .25-20. That pretty well covers the waterfront.
I put a modern Lyman tang sight on the .32-20. I think it's my favorite. What a great shooter it is!
Enjoy your incoming lever carbine!
