Glad your keeping it as is. You've got an extremely exciting levergun in the 35rem. One can go to heavy Buffalo Bore loads, and if you reload 35 cal pistol bullets can be launched. Then there's cast bullets. The 35 is where casting really starts to make sense because finally there's enough bore diameter and bullet weight to have an extremely hunting round or load lightweight plinkers.

That to me is exciting in an levergun.
