If you can find a Marlin that would be the choice.

Ruger M77 is bolt action.
Rossi R92 is a lever action.

Blah, blah, blah
I looked at 44's and decided the Henry was the best for the money. Thinking same applies for 357.
Excellent finish and smoothest action.
Some don't like the loading tube vs gate. I don't really care.
It is kinda heavy.

Id buy one of the below while you can, fine enough for field work. Hunt your dream gun later

This is a fine choice.
Taylor's Firearms in VA offers several of their copies of 19th century rifles in .357 Magnum:

Were you looking at the Henry Big Boy by chance? Those rifles are indeed pretty hefty as they weigh 8.68 lbs.
Maybe check out the Henry Steel models also, if you haven’t already. More of a working gun look for sure, but if weight is a concern, those models weigh a much friendlier 7 lbs. in the rifle, and a bit less in the carbine.
Yup, here's my thread (with photos) on the one I just bought.

Give a few of the Industry Partners a call and see what they can do for you.
The Uberti/Taylors are my favorite. I dont like the Henry leading tube.

I bought an 1873 from Taylor’s. By far the most fun you can have with a rifle. 38s shoot so soft. I thought you shouldn’t shoot too many high power 357 due to the weak 1873 action.
Marlin 1894 .357 JM if you can find one would be 1st.choice. Depending on your budget, the Rossi 92 is awesome for a very reasonable price.
The Henry has a great reputation and can be had at a reasonable price. They arevalso real a great looking rifle. But, I like the loading gate. It's worth it to me. Topping off or changing the next round to a different loading/bullet and such.
