357 Magnum lever gun I want
Lately I've had a desire for a 357 Magnum lever gun possibly the Henry in a case-hardened steel receiver model. Been fighting the desire for a few days but if I decide to get one my thoughts are the 357 Magnum is versatile. It complements my GP100. I already reload for that caliber. Just always wanted another lever action since I lost one destroyed in the Louisiana floods of 2016. The one I lost was a Henry n22.
If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.

Re: 357 Magnum lever gun I want
I have a big boy steel in 44 magnum and love it. I have a Rossi '92 in 357 that I put a Marble tang sight on and I'm liking it a whole lot more, it was decent right out of the box but my eye and the rear sight didn't get along. I'd have bought a Rossi to fill the 44 mag longing but at the time I had the money neither the Rossi or the Marlin were available and my LGS had the Henry.

Re: 357 Magnum lever gun I want
If I were buying new (I don't) I would have trouble choosing. All current .357 levers have faults but I might actually trust the build quality of the Rossi first now that the newer ones are proving to be better than the last batch.
