George, what caliber are you thinking? I've had a hankern for a stainless lever for a while.
I was just thinking 44 mag but I'd like another 22 also.
Jim, I handled a synthetic-stainless Big Boy in the local LGS and I was I impressed as to perceived quality over the late model marlin with the fat forearm next to it. It had almost a finished plywood look -- kind of cheap-looking but it was much lighter than the Big Boy and much less expensive too..
