I was really wanting a 357 lever a year or so ago. I couldn't find a Marlin or Winchester that was at all reasonable. I looked at the Henry and really liked the looks but IMHO that sucker was just too heavy for a 357. It felt more like my 45-70. I wanted something handy and lightweight. I finally got a Rossi. It is handy and lightweight but otherwise I'm not thrilled with it. I might be interested in the new Marlin if it's closer to the Rossi weight than the Henry. I have a Pre-Rem .44 trapper. If the new 357 is along those lines I might have to consider one.
