Ive had several and still have 3 or 4, lost count. My favorite so far is my 12" 45/70. It is a hoot to shoot. I wouldn't mind a 10" 357. Just sold a 30-30 since I have an encore in 30-06. The encores are nice but not near as sleek as the original contenders. I regret selling my 44 mag barrel. That thing was a laser
