Unfortunately a lot of lever guns have horrible ergonomics, triggers and/or shoot ballistics bad cartridges IMHO. I have a Citadel 38/357 which is fun and light but mostly for plinking. Some of the marlins are nice (pistol grip version) but still tube fed. A 223 lever/ar might be a good alternative to a straight pull. Ugly but for me utility rules. Really want my AR back...
