Thanks. And also cconsidered a lever action at some point.

Great choice! I bought a S&W .44 Magnum and then bought a Henry Big Boy with a brass receiver in .44 Mag just for that same reason! Of course, Henry also makes rifles chambered for the .357 also too so that could be an option as well. I love my Henry rifles, pretty cool guns, especially the Golden Boy .22 rifles! Smoothest lever action ever!
