Buy recommendations Worth the price?

Post image

Saw this back in stock at my local gun shop, 357 magnum. Weight and length all felt good, just a little pricy. Wondering if it’s worth the price tag in terms of reliability and value. Also would it make a good hunting rifle?

Price is 2200$

Any recommendations is appreciated, thanks.

Here's my biased take as the owner of a Henry Big Boy 357. You can get a Henry 357 for $1,372. So the question is, do you want to spend $850 more for almost the same thing? I don't regret my Henry purchase at all, I haven't ever really thought damn I wish I spent the $850 more on the Marlin 357. Does that mean I dislike Marlin? No, I can see my self owning one down the road in a different caliber like 45-70 govt.
