That’s a nice sized lever loop on the Chiappa. Plenty big for a gloved hand but not the ridiculous huge loop you see on some.

I looked long and hard at that Turnbull. He does wonderful work.
If I were going to do one, I'd start with a pre-safety Marlin 336A in .30-30. I really prefer the look of the 24 inch barrel and 2/3 magazine. Have him checker the stock and forend in the deluxe pattern. Add either a Lyman receiver sight or a tang sight with a Redfield Sourdough front sight and you'd have a woods rifle deer would be proud to succumb to.

Dropped off my 1976 Marlin 444S today, along with $4085. Full Color Case Hardening and polishing (action, lever, hammer, end cap) Picked out a nice piece of 3XXX for the stock work. Now for the one year wait....... Here's the wood I picked. The cell phone pics really don't do it justice...

Are they removing the lawyer safety & restoring it to old school?

Mine was made in 1976, so there is no safety. I seen one in their rack that had the safety removed, so it appears as tho they will remove it. If I was having My Marlin 44 Mag. done I would get a safety replacement like the one Beartooth sells. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0168/8034/products/picture_386_1024x1024.jpg?v=1514737995

WOW!!!!! what a beauty, congrats Dan, you'll enjoy that one a whole lot more than if you'd have bought my 50-110 WCF Turnbull, that shoulder pounding beast is NOT a lot of fun.

LOL, Yup, but now it fires 700 grain grease groove bullets over black powder, you may want to look into a Smith Enterprises ladder sight if you want to hunt and bang 300 yard steel with your lever rifle, it draws some mighty strange looks from your friends when you do that!
