Even more modern would POF or Fight Lite levers that use AR uppers.On a little more modern note, Savage Model 99 or Winchester Model 88.

I've always wanted an 16' octagon lever gun of some kind. I can vouch for everyone needing a Henry .22 lever. Sadly I had to sell mine years ago but it went to a good home, and now I have a Marlin 39a, which to me feels like a more "grown-up" gun.
Got a red dot mounted on the Rossi and the scope height is almost perfect on this rail (Northwoods, Fairmont, MN) that I picked up on eBay.I just recently picked up a used Rossi R92 in .44 mag and love it. Putting a red dot or reflex sight in it for an upcoming hog hunt at the end of the month and just from shooting with irons know that it will shoot well out to 100 yards.
