Guess it depends on whether you want decoration or function..

I no longer hunt. My first long spoon was a 30-30 Marlin and I didn't like it much......kinda like my 7mm Mag 700 Remington, they will put sizeable dent in your shoulder.....and that was a young shoulder with muscles & all.
Hopefully any wall decoration would stay on the wall & be just that. I do like the lever gun tho.....watched too many westerns, I guess.
