I stopped by the local shop yesterday and he had at least 3 steel framed Henrys in the rack. The 45 Colt and 44 Mag were as pictured here, and the 357 had a shorter mag tube and big loop lever. I prefer the look of the regular lever and full length mag tube, and would have no qualms about the loading by way of the mag tube. These all looked pretty nice, and better than the Remlins that I've seen. $699 seems a little steep, but my first Marlin 357 was $169 at Kmart back in '82. The most that I've paid was $425 for one that I had to order in '09.
