I've got a couple of the Taurus 62LA lever actions, they seem OK, just wish they didn't have that safety in the bolt. The lever on these look like they have a weak spot, so I'm very careful with them. From what I can find out these were only made in the last year Taurus made rifles, you just don't see many of them.
Here's a link with some information.... for those who can read Portuguese -
