I have a serious jones on for the Henry in .357, since I already have pistols and reloading gear in that caliber.
Beautiful pieces, all.
I won a Henry 44 at an NRA dinner. It’s so much fun to shoot.
I picked up a Rossi carbine chambered for /357 and 38 Special. it’s a little small and light to use the .357 round in - beats one up a bit. But, it feels sweet with the 38 Special rounds.
So do I. I love .357 magnum and having a rifle that uses it would be awesome.
Don't buy it!
Seriously, take my advice!
It's so danged purty, I can't bring myself to take it off the wall long enough to shoot it.
You'll waste your money.
It's a wonderful piece.
Mine is absolutely beautiful, but not so much that I won't use it.
I was making light of how beautiful they are...they definitely are, but believe me, it will drive tacks...which of course, once driven, are not findable, 'cause the muzzle velocity and fps on a .357 out of a 22 inch barrel is phenomenal.
I once had a Marlin in .35 Rem, which is all I used for deer hunting in south Alabama years ago, and I simply loved it.
I foolishly sold it in the '80's, and still regret it and that's why I bought the Henry.
Straightest shooting non-scoped rifle I've ever shot (other than an M-14), but I think it may be just a little heavier than my old Marlin.
Once broke in...smooth as glass.
Heavy enough to lighten up the recoil, light enough to carry into the brush for a day's hunting.
SJHP .357 is the recommended round...it will shoot lead round-nose .38's, but is likely to jam if you get in a hurry with them.

Nothing wrong with the Henrys, but the one I would like is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjxKI3eURRw Or, longer barrel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPMS8l5QiCg
