Nice rifle, I’d love to find a .357. Lever’s are highly underrated.
Tough $hit for him.
There are a couple over at gunbroker. Also several in 44 magnum.

I have a Rossi lever-action carbine in .357 (and the substitute 38 special). Decent rifle but nothing special - got it so I wouldn't have to add another type ammo to my list as I already had a .357 revolver.
