I've owned pistol caliber levers from Browning, Winchester, Marlin, Henry and Rossi. By far one of the best was a Browning 92 in 44 mag I traded some years ago. Very solid rifle, lite weight and easy to carry that just performed. Spare parts played part of the decision to trade. I still have a Henry in 327 mag that while heavy, is just a solid, accurate rifle. Owned several Marlins over the years in 44 & 357, still have one 44 mag of recent manufacture. Lighter than the Henry, but heavier than the others. All have been solid performers. Still have 2 stainless Rossi's (one in 454 Casull and one in 357) These are the lightest and least expensive, but a little time buffing the metal parts when new and replacing the sites with fiber optics have turned them into handy brush guns... the 357 with 38's is a hoot to shoot. Winchester has only one drawback in my book... the cost. It's often several hundred more than it's competitors. In all the models I've handled in the last 40 years, the only ones I ever saw really damaged were Winchesters in 45 colt... earlier models tended to get pushed by reloaders which led to broken extractors on many, but that was addressed years ago.

I know from experience that your Browning is a great rifle. It's lack of parts is the only downside I can think of. The others are all fine guns, and if the price were right I'd feel fine with any of them.
