In regards to quality of fit, finish and smooth action my new (2016 built) Marlin (Remlin) Guide Gun 45-70 is up to par with my 1990 JM stamped Marlin 30-30. Its every bit if not more accurate too. Both are open sights.
“If the Henry is anything like the .22 rimfire 001 Henry, pos“
First Ai heard that. Mine has been perfect. You may want to let Henry look at that.
Maybe Atlantic Guns in Rockville? They are big on cowboy action shooting.

The stainless .357 version of the Rossi is slick as snot. You can almost work the action with one finger. Very clean trigger break. I got it used but the gent who sold it to me didn't use it much. So I think it came that way.
Only thing I don't like is the curved steel butt plate. You start feeling it after a box of Magnums.

Try the 44 it stings pretty good after several rounds, it's much easier to shoot them out of a Redhawk revolver than my Puma 92 tho it's fun to shoot both. I can't imagine a 357 stinging much out of a 5 or 6 lb rifle.
Okay, hitting right at this mark, my favorite LGS just got in a Uberti 1866 Yellow Boy on consignment which I'm going to take a look at. I had been looking for a .357, and this model is the .38, so it may not be exactly right, but let me hear what anyone thinks of these. I know nothing about Ubertis beyond what Mr. Internet tells me, so from feed & function to handling and accuracy, how do people like them? Or not like them?
thanks!
Get it. They're heavier than the 73, but they're still great rifles.
Jimbob or others - how would you compare the '66 model Uberti (used) to a new Henry? Apart from the caliber difference, and the magazine loading (remove tube vs. loading gate), how do those two stack up against each other?
Thanks!
