Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?

The one I wish I still had is Marlin M444. Optics were factory buckhorn sights viewed through see-through mounts holding a widefield 1.5x4 scope. I chose this over 45/70 because I was reloading a lot of .44 for both rifle and revolver. Unmatched stalking/stillhunting piece within 200 yards. I was over the moon when dad took his last deer with it. It can be seen here.

38-55 Cowboy Special Marlin. Very fun to shoot. Not an extreme long range gun but it will work well at the distances I would use it at. Someday I will have to try Winchester 94 to see how they compare to the 336's. The 336 is pretty easy to break down clean and you can accurize them with a little effort.
Never realized how thick my 336s were until I got a 94. There’s definitely room for both.
 
A pair of Marlin 338ME. The good ones. One gets hunted one gets looked at

I bought a BLR in .308 because I wanted a lever but also wanted to shoot spitzer bullets. The box magazine facilitates that.
