Seems like there's a bunch of posts on this subject. But here goes again: I own a Uberti Mdl 1873 in .357/38 Special. The only issue I've had is that it jams if one tries to chamber Keith-type bullets, but factory jacketed or lead RNFN bullets work fine.
It's available in 44 mag for a few configurations. http://www.uberti.com/firearms/1873-rifle-and-carbine.php
And now, I see Miroku is making them for Winchester as well, but only in .357/38 Spl.
And yeah, they're pricier than the options above. But there's no smoother lever action ever made, and they're a cool piece of history.
Uberti also makes a copy of the Colt Lightning (pump), but I've never shot nor handled one.
