I have two .44 Remington Magnum rifles in my safe. To wit, a Harrington & Richardson Model 155 Shikari, S/n AH213xxx, 1971 Mfr; and, a Henry Model H006 Golden Boy .44 Remington Magnum S/n BB15xxx. I'm pretty much in concert with other posters -- the ONE and ONLY thing I'm not fond of is the Henry "is heavier than a dead minister" . On the other hand, this feature really shrinks affects of recoil. Shooting with sand bags on the bench this is my certain choice! I only shoot my own cast bullets, and I am by no means a champion shooter -- but, at 75 yards I seem to get most in an acceptable to me group.
For carry/field, though, I am still in love with the 1971 Harrington & Richardson Shikari. A single shot, with a built in ram-rod attachment, it seems to exude "class." The price I paid was most fair/reasonable at the time, and it is quite accurate. And, again, it is most pleasing to the eye. Sadly it obviously is not a lever gun; but, it may provide an option you had not considered.
