Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?

My 1960' era Marlin 336C in 35 Rem is one of the more accurate rifles I own. Hearing a lot of good things about the new Ruger Marlins too

I’m going to go with my model 94 in 30-30.
I just love carrying this in the thick, close woods, still hunting. No problem carrying this all day.
I have a sling for it, which stays in my pack until I need it (dragging out a deer).
Hopefully this season I’ll need that sling….
NO scope on this! Blasphemy!
I have a Williams foolproof peep sight on it, and it works well for me, and my aging eyes.
