Well, my favorite is a Rossi 92 clone. They are reportedly hit and miss for reliability, but I have never owned a bad one. It's light, handy, and smooth as silk.

Aside form that, a JM Marlin 1894 would be a good choice. While not as heavy as a Henry, they are heavy compared to a Winchester.

You might also look at the Henry BBS (Steel). I have a couple in .327. They are much, much lighter than the BB (Brass).
