I've heard Legacy makes a pretty decent lever rifle.
Would you be willing to switch over to a pump action? With a level action, you have to constantly re-grip every time you work the action. That flaw isn't existent with a pump.
I heed you one warning, and one warning only (ooo, how dramatic!): stay the fudge away from 1873 pattern rifles. The modern 1873 can only withstand 23,000 CUP, which is about half of a modern .44's, .357's, and sometimes .45 Long Colt's factory loaded pressure. ( Source 1, Source 2 )
And to mention something completely unconventional, Ruger makes a box-fed .44 magnum lever rifle marketed as the "Ruger Model 96", IIRC. Also; the PREDECESSOR to the Ruger 10-22 was a .44 Magnum, uses the same box magazines as the Model 96. They're pretty neat rifles, and handle pretty nicely (I've held one at a store, was sah-weet ^.^).

Battlefield Reaper Floyd I've shot a Ruger 10/44 and it is a nice rifle. Paired with a .44 magnum revolver, it's a winning combo! Pity they took the 10/44 out of production decades ago. Used ones are still worth the research. And I agree that the lever action Ruger replacement is a nice gun to look into. Liiiink
No pics, but it looks exactly like the Ruger 10/22.
