I have a Marlin model 1894 in .357.  It's serviceable, but sometimes
misfeeds (nearly new, probably a minor defect in finish. I suppose
the older ones are better, as usual).  The finish and feel is not
smooth and tight.  If you really want a nice .357, try to find 
a Browning lever - they made a few in .357, but they're scarce.
