Looked at them at Big5 last night and wasn't impressed with it. I'm sticking with my USA Winchester and pre-Rem Marlin.

I have an R92 in 357. It was actually the first gun I ever deer hunted with. Pretty good shooter.

If you have a pre-rem marlin, you don't need one of these. but for those of us who don't it looks like a good deal. Sycamore (course, once I get a receiver sight, and maybe some action work, it might be pricey )

I paid $454 for my stainless one about 3 weeks ago from Grabagun.com. Blued is $421 & stainless is $519 now but they out of stock on both. Great prices there and only $6 to ship to your FFL.

Paul thanks I just want a standard 20" blue in .357 I got the itch for a 20" 357 last spring. Looked high & low and had my FFL try to order one. I 'settled' for a 16" carbine and in retrospect. am very glad I did. Mine did not like 38's it took several tear-downs to get it right with 357's... but then end result is so good I don't care. http://www.thesixgunjournal.net/the-357-magnum-carbine-perfected/

I have a 20" 357. Since this thread is a few years old, prices have gonenup a little on any levergun in 357. Mine was slicked up by me using stevesgunz dvd and feels like a well used, 100 yr old rifle. Gonna refinish the stocks soon. It's a good shooter and handles 38 or 357 equally well.

Basic 16" or 20" ? 357's are hardest I think to find
The case hardened/oct barrels are also hard to find...
I've had several...have one left in 45 Colt CH/oct 20"
I'd buy a 'JM' Marlin first....Rossi C/S sucks bad......

Just picked up a stainless carbine for 503 from Buds
With all the comments about these rifles being so rough of manufacture, I am pleased with the overall fit and finish.
Smooth operation of lever and no problems with feeding my handgun loads.

I believe they have made improvements to their CS.
I sold a 1894 CP (factory ported 16" 357) to buy my 2 Rossis. Sold a presafety 1894C (18" 357) to buy the CP cause i had wanted it so long. Major let down.
