Me personally if I’m considering cost I’d go with a Rossi 92. Mine is an older one and with the help of a dvd from the “Rossi 92 Specialist” it’s much smoother running and holds more shells than it did originally. I also own a Puma which I think is also Brazilian and it’s much smoother. I’ve heard the newer Rossis are smoother. A marlin of course would be a great gun but they cost more. I really like the Uberti 73’s it’s just good looking to me. Something about the look of the Henry’s just don’t turn my crank.

My son in law bought a very cool 357 Rossi 92 at Dongs. Stainless 20" with grey laminate stock, peep sight on pictinny rail, larger lever but not big hoop. He mounted a Burris 2-7×32 scout scope on it. From Roosi website

Yeah...R92/M92 are the same thing. I think R92 may be an updated name for it.
Probably looking at $650 - $700 for a Rossi (give or take), and $850 to $900 for the Henry (give or take), maybe more if you want the side-gate version as opposed to the tube-fed version. Might do better on a used one of either flavor.
I have Win 94s in .44Mag, .22Mag and .30-30 and I love 'em all. I have several Henry rimfires. And I have an early (still ported) 1895G Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70 that I just love. Lever guns are an addiction for me. Like 1911s.

I have a Marlin Glenfield 30-30 that I bought new when I was 15 and I had a 39A at one time. Kind of always wanted a .357 to go with a S&W revolver.
I'm really liking the look of the Rossi Triple Black model. My Glenfield looks similar.
I have always wondered about Rossi Quality. Good?
I’ve got a JM stamped Marlin .45-70 ported Guide Gun as well - that damn thing is a handheld cannon.
I started collecting JM stamped Marlins 10 or 12 years ago, before Remington bought Marlin and the prices got crazy. I’ve got the .30-30, .357 mag /.38 special, .44 mag, .45 Colt
with the octagon barrel, and the .45-70 Guide Gun. There are a few other calibers I want if / when I can find a decent deal.
Rossi's are an amazing gun for the money.
I teach a Levergun class for Oklahoma LE. If you ever want to run a gun hard and fast, Henry's will let you down. The first two classes I did had all the Henry's vomitting parts.
Marlins had zero issues.
Ross's don't like shooting some 38 Specials.
Winchester were ok.
Can't recommend a Henry unless you're wanting something pretty yo hang above your mantle. The .22 Henry's are exceptional, tho.

I have a Henry .22 that I still need to get to the range with. I haven't fired a round through it yet.
