I've shot or owned all of the rifles mentioned other than the Uberti. I think the Uberti is hands down the best looking rifle, but they cost too much and I'm told they are not able to handle a diet of heavy 45colt without problems. Love to know from you Uberti owners if this is true or not, because if they will tolerate the heavy loads I'll have to pick one up asap.
While I like the quality of Marlin leverguns (JM stamped - mainly), Blowback with light to average loads was totally ridiculous. Wonderful in all other ways, but the gas to the face is a really disconcerting thing to deal with.
I'm another person that dislikes the tube loading set-up on Henry leverguns. Not too bad at the range, but I don't like pulling parts of the rifle most of the way out of the gun when I'm in the woods. I don't like doing it on a 22lr either. I don't care if the tube is in the front like on a Henry, or in the back like on the old Browning 22 semi-auto. I find it awkward as hell and the only reason I tolerate it in a 22 is because with the higher mag capacity you don't need to go thru the process as often. The whole thing is too much like a ram-rod for my liking. I find the side-loading gate easier and less distracting . Unloading is another story, but I usually use the trigger to unload my rifles unless I'm hunting.
I really want to love Henry leverguns, but I just can't seem to do it. Made in the USA, smooth actions, good variety of offerings, and a lot of other factors that should put them high on my list of favorites. It all works until I open my eyes and look at the rifle. Then the deal's off. To me they look like the receiver was sized to work in brass, and they just left the size the same for the steel models in spite of the ability to downsize with the stronger material. I know receivers with different exterior dimensions would make poor manufacturing sense, but getting past the awkwardness of the receiver appearance is impossible for me. The rest of the rifle looks similarly awkward for some reason, too. Again, this is only my opinion. The rifles shoot great but the weight, appearance, and loading routine completely ruin it for me.
I have 20" stainless Rossi's in 45colt and 357mag. The 357 is picky on what bullets it will digest. Smooth, light, and accurate, but finicky about overall cartridge length and bullet shape. The 45colt rifle is amazing. Loads, feeds, and shoots so well that it's hard to want to shoot anything else. Accurate, and light. It was tight when it was new, but gets smoother with every shot. I can't speak highly enough about this rifle. It just makes me smile when I pick it up.
I know quality is hit or miss with the Rossi's but I look at it this way. A brand new Rossi is typically around $100 less than the cheapest of the other options. If you roll the dice and get a good one, you have $100 to spend on ammo or reloading components. If you get one with issues, a few hours and less than $100 will bring the rifle up to snuff and you will still have spent no more than the next cheapest option on the lightest and handiest one in the bunch.
Just my two cents. Hope I didn't anger anyone. I now gun-love runs deep and criticizing someone's favorite is almost as bad as kicking their dog. I don't like it when someone kicks my dog, so please forgive me if I dissed your favorite.
