[CCCLVII]

I have shot some Marlins, Rossi, Henry and Winchesters in 357 magnum. Of the ones I shot I would say that the Rossi is the lowest quality and would need more work to break it in.

I saw some one mention the 1873s. Correct me if I am wrong but are those not the weaker toggle actions? I would not trust those to the hotter 357 magnum loads on a regular basis. They work great for cowboy loads but the 73s will not take the hunting loads very long and a failure would result in a bolt to the face.

I do love how the 73s look though. If I could find one that would handle a steady diet of buffalo bore level 357 magnum ammo I would buy it.

The newer Winchester 1892s are really sweet. They are made in Japan but then most lever actions are made out side the USA now days.

The Marlins are nice because they are easy to scope.

Henry's are nice as well but they have 2 major down sides in my book. First they are heavy. Second they do not use a loading gate but use a tube similar to tube loaded 22LRs.
