I have a rossi R92 in 357 and it's been good so far, ditto my 1894 win in 30/30 and my 308 blr and, most recently, a 22 hi power savage 99.
I think a great deal of the problems with lever guns arise because of b.s. on the internet generally originating in the US where they seem to have a thing about filing this off or polishing that up all to the detriment of the gun.
I think a significant issue with lever guns is the attitude of the owners, particularly gen Z who seem to want to blame everything , but that's just me.
