My deer rifle for many years is an older Marlin '94, whacked to 16" trapper length; it's a .44 mag, and it is a hammer on deer inside 100 yards.
Pistol caliber levers are fun to shoot; mine have been forty-somethings; I've a couple .45 Colt iterations as well, and took a deer with a 16" Winchester AE.

ETA- I know this thread started with a tacticool lever gun, and my Marlin wears a scope, at least partially to make sure my deer has the requisite number of points.
But what is fun on levers is a tang sight; it gives maximum sight radius, let's old guys shoot irons, and makes hits, within the range of the gun, really easy.
