That's still a big scope for a svelte lever action. 30mm diameter and over 1 lb.
Remember, the only significant advantage of a 30mm scope is more adjustment range for dialing. Just not useful on a lever gun.

100% agree the 30mm tube itself offers no advantage on a lever gun. That is unless you can get much better glass in a 30mm versus a 1" scope which makes 30mm scopes a relevant consideration on a lever rifle.
