If you like straight grip stocks, a slimmer overall package, and shoot iron sights, the Winchester 94 is a good choice.

If you like pistol-grip stocks, don't mind a little meat on the bones, and shoot optical sights, the Marlin 336 is a good choice.

I like the Winchester 64 and the old Marlin 336A better than the 20" full length magazine tube carbines.

I think that the Sako Finnwolf is the best factory specs lever action rifle ever made in 243 and 308, if those two cartridges fit/fill your wants and needs.
