This is what you need to go with your lever gun. I've been lusting over it for a few months already: http://coonaninc.com/
Yowza!!

That is freaking awesome! I have never seen or heard of one before. I'm not going to jump on it or anything, but really cool.

That is still over $600 and is a blemish or defect sale price. I appreciate the link, but that is still a little rich for what you are getting. The finish on the reciever looked pretty rough and the wood was less that desirable. The overall fit and finish of the Rossi rifles leave a bit to be desired in my opinion.

I just want a .357 lever gun in stainless that does not cost an arm and a leg. I have not been able to find one under $600 or so and I just don't need one that bad if they are more. The blued models just don't do it for me at all...

The rotary mags look like a neat design borrowed from their 10/22, but I think the suggestion of the lever gun is a good one. I agree with TAM that the lever gun would be handier with more capacity. I think the accuracy of either would be comparable. The bolt gun seems like a better stand/blind type hunting rifle were the lever gun is a better woods/brush type hunting rifle. I think maybe a box mag like the new scout rifle would help set this rifle apart from any comparison and be a really nice feature.
