I would like to help but went a different route after looking at several lever actions, a way overpriced m77 44, and a couple of old Ruger Deerfield carbines, I settled on a 22" stainless takedown CVA Scout topped with a Leopold 1.5-4 VX freedom scope , so far it hasn't been real picky on ammo, I sighted it in with Winchester 240 gr JSP at 100 yards, then shot everything from 44spc cowboy action loads to the 270 gr Federal Hammerdown and all of it hit in un a pie plate size area so that let me know a rezero would be pretty easy if I change ammo for some reason
t know it's not a sexy lever action but you can't really argue with an accurate one and done shot....might be an option for you to look at
