I have a New Marlin 1894CSBL in .357 Mag. I use to have a Rossi 92 in .357 Mag. I like my 16" Stainless Marlin better and Marlin has all the kinks worked out of their rifles. I would not hesitate to buy another Marlin as long as it was not one of their earlier models. Being a 357 it should not be. I also loved my Rossi but needed funds at the time and had to sell it. It was also a great rifle and muchly missed. But not as nice as my Marlin.
