Congrats on your 26th post.I have a brand new Rossi R59 .357/.38 spl. That I want to sell. Beautiful rifle, but not a Winchester (my 1st love) or a Henry (my 2nd).
This is the one I want. Got the brass. Got the bullets. Just need the gun.They aren't cheap, but I'd say if you can find one for MSRP go ahead and get it. They are pretty nice as far as I can tell. Just need to get it out to the range and compare it to my old guide gun.

Whichever one you can get a good deal on. Throw a Marlin 336 into the equation also.
Your right. My bad. Miss typed the serial number.If you have an actual Marlin 336 made in 1903, it must be a very rare duck indeed and probably would be worth a fortune. I think though it is more likely you either have misstated the model or year of production for your Marlin.The Marlin 336's predecessor was the Marlin 36 (aka: Marlin 1936), the first variation of it only came out in 1937. The 1936 was manufactured through about 1947/48. The 336 came out in 1948. They were manufactured through 1962, then again introduced around 1973.
My BIL gave me a Win 100th anniversary edition 44 mag a few years ago. I was shocked.Looked at a new Henry in .44mag today.
TBH it wasn’t very impressive.
Just going to have to keep looking for that stainless Marlin.
you probably won't sell it here!I have a brand new Rossi R59 .357/.38 spl. That I want to sell. Beautiful rifle, but not a Winchester (my 1st love) or a Henry (my 2nd).
They are “pricey” but have read a couple of reviews on the 45-70 and they are shooting sub 1” groups at 100 right out of the box with factory ammo.Henry is reportedly the least accurate of the big 3 (Winchester, Marlin, Henry). Did some extensive research 4-5 years ago and Henry lever actions came up short.
I preferred the Marlin (pre-Ruger). Now that Ruger is making the Marlin line they are a bit pricey.
I have a ‘94, top eject, Centennial 66. I mounted a Burris scout scope using this mount… lock solid!My dad's 94 had a scope mounted that didn't interfere with the top eject. It mounted to the side of the receiver, with a 90 degree bend to a Weaver mount. Centered the scope over the receiver, but deflected the brass when it ejected. It worked well.
Looked a lot like this one I found online just now.

In other words, you are getting what you pay for.

Have a Rossi. Beautiful rifle. Trying to sell it now. Never been used.Rossi
That’s where I’m headed!Henry is more American.
I'd go for the Henry.
Have one now. It’s beautiful, but not a Henry or a Winchester. I have it for sale on TGT now.Rossi
