My experience with .44 lever guns came from shooting in NRA Cowboy Lever Action Silhouette Matches. For me and the game I was playing, an 1894 with the 24" octogon barrel held so much better off hand than a 20" version plus the longer sight radius is nice on an iron sight rifle. Add some new sights, maybe a new recoil pad, and your set.
