Stay away from the Henry big bores, they are pain to load, and most folks aren't impressed with them that I know.  In the reasonable market, around 400 dollars, the 1892 Winchester clones are hard to beat, not the smoothes actions like a Uberti but more than adequate for plinking and hunting.  If you want to spend around 600 dollars, the Marlin is hard to beat and American made.  I'd recommend Rezac's gunshop in Valaprasio, he's got alot of the 92's on sale.  PM me if your interested and I'll get you the contact info...

As is all-too-common I think this is going to be a multi-year plan to actually purchase one, but it's something to dream about.  Much more reasonable to shoot than the .30-06 and probably kicks a lot less.   ;D

You won't mistake it for a .22, but there is very little kick in the 357 rifles.  I'm in G.I. and would be happy to let you shoot it if you made the trip however it has a new front blade from Skinner Sights that is oversized and needs filed down once I get settled on a handload.
Maybe a better option would be to attend a local SASS or cowboy type shoot where you will probably see many MFG's rifles represented.
