I would look for a Marlin. Supposedly the newly made Marlins are good rifles. You might want to do some more research at marlinowners.com The reports on the new 357s are positive. If you reload this can be one of the most versatile guns you can own. I can load rounds with a .36 caliber round ball up to loads shooting a 160gr soft point at just under 1800fps. Some will say you can match original 30-30 loads but I still think the 30-30 is a more powerful round. But the 357 is a good all around gun to own.
I also owned a Rossi 357 and as long as you shot jacketed bullets it shot great. It would shoot 3" or just under groups at 100 yards but load it with lead and you could forget groups. That gun would have bullets starting to tip at the 30 yard range. I called Interarms, the importer at the time and they said all their lever guns came with a 1/30 twist. I don't know if the twist was the problem or the lead bullets were stripping in the bore. Anyway I sold the gun and bought a Marlin and never looked back.
My bud bought a Rossi and it does seem to shoot good. But shooting it beside my Marlin I found the Rossi has a longer lever throw. I short stroked his gun a couple of times. But he never did. A 357 lever action is one of the best you can own. I bet you like whatever you get.
