I want a lever action rifle.

I would start with .22 just so you can afford to shoot it a lot. Then if you get hooked you can start adding more. I currently have 4 Marlins and 1 Henry. I started with a .410 that was a gift when I was 13. I then inherited a .22. I added a .357 to go with a revolver I had and so I could shoot the cheaper .38s in it. Then I added a 30-30 just because I wanted something bigger for no real good reason. My latest add was the Henry in a .22 Mares Leg just for fun.聽

I have to echo the rest of the group. find a Rossi in pistol caliber you already shoot. I've had Rossi revolvers and they are sturdy firearms. my first lever was a 336C Marlin in 30-30, about 1973 vintage if I ran the serial number correctly. It doesn't match your just off the saddle/trail requirement but I prefer the Marlin for rifle caliber. My next lever will be an 1895 45-70 just because I hate my shoulder...

although I wouldn't ignore my own advice. a Rossi 92 in 357 at the right price would change my order of acquisition

I like the the look of the Henry Golden Boy 22LR or they have some bigger calibers in the same line. Classic look.聽

A Henry Golden Boy 22 was my first lever gun.聽 I liked it enough to add a few more calibers.聽 Made in America, well built, dependable.

For all you .45-70 shooters, you might notice that mine has a butt cover on it.聽馃槈

John Browning may have been a genius, but putting a curved steel butt plate on his big bore 1886 wasn't a smart move.聽馃槚

The rifle is rated for Level II loads. But I keep my reloads at Level I for a good reason.聽馃檮

Unfortunately, we all know that this is likely the case. 馃槑

Just like 1911s...you can't have just one!

I remember my first...1911 that is. A Colt Officers Model. Like the first hit on a doobie...just can't stop!
