I like the Henry rifles in 357 and 44 mag. They are a scaled down Marlin 336 action which to me is much smoother action than the 1894. I do like the Marlin 1894 models as well. I don't think I've met a lever I didn't like. I've had them in 22lr, 22 mag, 32 H&R Mag, 327 Fed Mag, 357 Mag, 44 mag, 45 Colt, 30-30, 32 Win Spl, 35 Remington, 307 Win, 356 Win, 375 win, 444, 45-70, 450 Marlin, 308 ME, 338 ME, 300 Savage, 243, 308, and 7mm Rem Mag. Currently have the 327 Fed mag, 357mag, 45 Colt, 30-30, 308 Marlin Express.
