I suspect this has been addressed before but here goes........

After having been a diehard bolt action lover, I' m thinking about buying a lever action rifle with iron sights/peep sight to hunt whitetails here in Michigan. This gun would be used exclusively for that purpose. I just think it would be a fun challenge. I' m thinking about the .35 Rem, .30-.30, .444, .450, .45-70, etc......right now I' m leaning towards the .35 Rem. Is there a reason I should look at something else? I really like the Marlin 336 gun, but am willing to consider other options. Would love other supported opinions!
