Wanting a .357 Magnum lever gun. Wanted to ask the boards opinion. I've dealt with older Marlin's and all types of Henry's; and both have been good. This would be a hunting/brush rifle, and a HD gun if pressed into it. How difficult is a Marlin vs Henry to clean and maintain ? If it helps, I intend to only run a peep sight, and also intend to get into handloading. I don't particularly like the Marlin's crossbolt safety, but if the Marlin is far and away superior to the Henry (which I personally doubt) I'll go for a Marlin.
Also, on topic of .357 carbines; what's the max effective range I can expect ? 100 yards ? From my understanding, a .357 carbine will easily take hog and whitetail, and black bear if the shot placement is there.
