Howdy, been out of the shooting game for a couple of years. Now I am looking at getting a centerfire lever, maybe 30-30, maybe .357.

Two questions:

1) I have noticed there is a sentiment that since being taken over by Remington, Marlin's quality has gone down. Is this really true, and can anyone explain that?

2) Any thoughts on Henry's 30-30 lever? I just got their catalog in the mail, and it's a pretty nice looker, but I haven't heard anything about them.
