I think your dealer is confused. I doubt that a lever rifle is chambered in 357 Remington Magnum, mostly because there is no such cartridge.

357 Magnum is actually called 357 Smith & Wesson Magnum, because it was introduced by Smith & Wesson (duh!).

Remington came out with the 357 Remington Maximum in 1982. Older Remington chamberings included 35 Remington and 350 Remington Magnum.

So which is it??
