you might wait to see what Marlin starts making once Ruger has it up and running (supposedly by the end of the year)

Id put the Ruger 77 .357 on the list too if you do want to scope it, they can be had threaded. (but also hard to find)
Don't hold your breath. Ruger, like other mfg's are unable to get parts for items in queue .Originally Posted by funkymonkey1111

Lever gun prices are crazy now! ARs are at or below retail, stores fully stocked but lever rifles, especially in handgun calibers are stupid expensive. There?s a nice newer Marlin .44 on another forum for $2k!!! Nope, not gonna happen for me.
I would love to get a .357 Henry with octagon barrel but they run $1k +.
Well, maybe if you add in shipping and transfer fees or whatever.

At the last PE Show in Loveland there were several Henry lever guns in 357, 44 and 45/70. All under $1000, one vendor selling a tube feed 357 for $749. If I was not there for something else I would have grabbed it. I saw a Rossi 357 for $599 but I would never have one because I had one once. Lever guns have become scarce on Armslist where two years ago you could get one in whatever caliber you wanted.

Get one in .44mag. I'd probably buy if from you, if it was around $600.
Been looking for a companion lever gun for my .44 mountain gun.
Gun Sport CO, in Boulder always had a good selection of used firearms. Haven't been there for a while but might be an option.

I should’ve been more specific-Henry with octagon barrel, blue or case color receiver
Don?t buy a Henry, they work fine but life is too sort for ugly rifles. Savage falls into the same category. I?m more of a purist when it comes to 1911s, Marlin lever actions and Winchester 94s. See if you can find a Marlin CST, and if not a CBSL. I?ve got a CBSL .357that has been great, along with a stainless 1894 .44 mag as well as .38-55 and .30-30 Marlin cowboys. I recently picked up an 1897 Cowboy in .22 lr that is amazing.

Wow. I bought a .30-30 Win '94 made in 1994 back in 2007 for $400. Nothing special, but it's in perfect condition. Of all my guns, it's still my favorite.
I have always wanted to get a matching levergun and revolver in .44 Mag... Partially for practical reasons, and partially for a little cowboy romanticism.
