Looking to buy a Lever action gun, need advice.

I personally own a Marlin 336W and it's lasted for 30 years and still shoots great. And it wasn't kept in a gun safe for those 30 years, it was and is a hunting rifle. It is a little heavy, but not much. I think it's a good gun, but in all honesty I can't compare it too very much.
