I will 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, the 480 Ruger in a Marlin, Winchester, or Ruger lever action.
I have also heard through the grapevine that there may be a couple different guns companies coming out with Levers in the 475 Linebaugh (which will also shoot the 480R) at the big gun show in Feb.
Somebody mentioned the coldness of synthetic stocks. I would like to see a synthetic stock with wood inlays for the fore grip, pistol grip, and a wood piece inset for the cheek rest. It would look a little bit "yuppie" but it sure would work great.
