I was at the candy store last week (LGS) and really don't need a gun right now. However, I was interested in a lever action in .357. I have a single shot Henry in .357 and it shoots well. On the rack was a used Marlin at $700+. The new one was $900+. The used one does look like the new models and showed little use. The new Henry in .357 was also in the $700+ range. I was leaning toward the used Marlin. I have three Henry levers and satisfied with fit finish and accuracy. What say you fellow members. Are there benefits or advantages to one versus the other?

Thanks. I should have updated my post some time ago. I did end up buying the new Marlin. In part because the used Marlin and new Henry were gone when I went back. A new Marlin was still available and came home with me. I have to admit not shooting it until yesterday. Very impressed with performance with my two hand loads. I have to agree the Marlin was the best choice. Easier to at least remove the bolt for a quick clean. Looking forward to taking it out again soon.
