So I was drifting around on the web and ran across a video by accident really.
It seems that Winchester in 2013 is (or already has?) come out with an 1873 lever-action rifle in 357 magnum. The way the video sounds, it seems it's made just like the old original guns?

I was thinking it might be fun to have a lever-action 357 to go along with my 357 Blackhawk. And, since I do own and ride horses, it might make a cool little saddle rifle. But....$1300????? WOW.
I know Henry, Marlin and some others make 357 lever guns for a lot less.
But do they suck?
Are they OK?
Or are they great?
I don't know jack about lever-action guns or the companies who make them.
