I would try the Model 21 from Buffalo Arms and see what you think about the front sight. Always a trade off between covering a lot of target vs being able to see it, and how quickly.
But then I think lever guns go great with peep sights. For me...Scopes are an OK necessity, scout mount scopes are an abomination, and those ugly rail mounts should disqualify you from ever owning a fine lever gun...
I guess you can tell I am VERY old school so far as levers. LOL
