Dying to drop one with my new Puma 454 Casull. Never taken one with a lever action and can't wait to do so (this post also acts as kind of a wish and a prayer, AMEN).
My dad just bought one of those last year. He then got it magna-ported to try to reduce the recoil.
Do you have a scope mounted on it? He had a heck of a time mounting one on his since he had to mount it so far forward on the receiver because of it being a top eject. He ended up using a pistol scope with a really narrow field of view.
