I just figure you should have a lever gun in any caliber that you also have in a revolver.
Rossi seems to ship these once or twice a year to the US. Must do limited production runs. If it follows last year's pattern, these Rossi 92s in 357 will be going for $800 NIB by this summer on GB.This is my find for a 357 lever gun

The price is now $534.99 and they are still available.

I wouldn't count on twice a year, there runs are inconsistent and their website is useless. Waited almost 2 years for my .454 then there were millions then none. Regrettably they discontinued the .480 Ruger which still is very much on my want list. .357 carbines were a year ago, none since.
The supply of the lower demand .44s and .45s isn't great but stretches. The moral of the story here is if you remotely want one buy when they are available.

I've been 'mulling over' getting that Rossi 92.
The thread discussing them has my interest really climbing. Plus, they're in stock, currently.
My favorite online store has them advertised for a bit less, but, they are NOT in stock, and don't know when they'll get 'em in.
As for the .357....................... I've got several revolvers in .38/.357, but, haven't shot them in quite a while.
Decisions....... decisions.

The Rossi's are a little rough internally but they clean up well. .357 is a hoot.

I thought all lever guns were 30-30?

Which means you already have the cases. And the SP primers. And the powder. And the dies. And the shell holder. All (sadly
) not being utilized.....I haven’t shot my .357 revolvers either. Not since I got the rifle.
You’re welcome!
The 30-30 is a tapered and rimmed case. Leverguns started with straight walled cartridges. 30-30 is a relatively "new" chambing. It's what almost a 100yrs old?
Edit: I'm wrong. It's much older. As old as many LG designs.

For great Justice
357, only way to fly for a '73 clone you actually intend to shoot. Large range in power from BBgun quiet 38SPL or 38 short colt up to full power 357 that can approach 7.62X39 ballistics, usually holds a ton of rounds, cheap and fun to shoot at indoor ranges, or out past 100yards outdoors. Only reason for other calibers is that you already own one in 357.

The 30-30 comment was a joke. I would match the rifle with my revolver. 357
I had a strong suspicion.

I vote for .308 Winchester Sako Finnwolf
That Sako is a great shooting rifle, I have two savage 99's in 308 and while they are nice, I think the Sako is a superior rifle. Costly but such a nice gun.

OP, I chose 45 colt cause I like guns in that cal but if you are looking for something cheaper a 44 mag or 357 would be a great choice,
It's a Taylors and Company 1873 20" barrel .357
It has the Comanchero tuned action.
That is a pic off their site.

Beautiful rifle.
You probably looked at all the complaint videos on youtube (mostly from 2013), or maybe you have one? I did and had my doubts, but I went for it anyway. I'm glad I did. Fidelity can vouch for it as well... for mine at least, the action is pretty smooth.
FWIW, the KY Gun Co Rossis are now out of stock at this time.
If I didn't like how mine cycled, I'd do what is shown in this (other) youtube video. Nothing overly difficult to do in my opinion. I have no idea if other manufacturers are different but this probably applies to a lot of lever action rifles.
