Aside from a few lever action rim fires, I only own four levers chambered in center fire cartridges.
One in each caliber offered in the Winchester 94AE Big Bore 'series' with 20" barrels.
I think they all weigh just over five pounds unloaded, definitely less than six.
I've never considered any of them to be punishing when it comes to recoil, though the .356 surprisingly seems sharpest to me measured against the .375 and .444.
Doubt that would even be a consideration with the .327 Federal.
I've always preferred flatter shooting smaller projectiles placed just below the jaw line when hunting for meat from whitetails so I am definitely interested in hunting them with it.
I like the idea of something 'different' with the brass receiver, though I'd not really considered it being like lugging a quality wood stocked bolt action w/scope through the woods regarding weight.
Also is the brass receiver really that prone to marring?
Never having owned one I'd not considered that aspect either.
I'm not abusive to my hunting arms, but accidents do happen.
I mean they say 'hardened' brass, but how 'hard' can brass really be?
