I was looking to buy an X model Henry .357 mag., but the prices have jumped to over a grand.

Walked into my local shop this past week. They had the new Ruger/Marlin Classic 1894 in .357 on the shelf. Beautiful gun. The fit and finish, excellent. Nice wood and bluing very nice. I walked out the door with it. Paid $950.00 for it.

Yesterday I stopped at a shop in NH to pick up powder. They had the exact same 1894 .357. Their price tag was $1239.00. As always, shops sell guns at a different price point.
