One of my favorite rifles for hunting deer or bear in heavy cover is a Winchester Model 1886 "Extra Light Weight" rifle, chambered in .45-70 (Miroku repo). This well-made, nicely finished, smooth operating, lever-action rifle weighs just over seven pounds and has a "shotgun" style butt. Very accurate rifle for its type. I mounted a Williams "FoolProof" receiver sight on mine.
Big bore lever gun
