Gate-loading is a must-have for this one for me. Kind of disappointed I sold it actually.I considered buying a CSBL and having it threaded because I much prefer that furniture, but I think I'm better off buying a new stock and fore grip for the CST, especially since I don't want the rail. 38 every so often that I chalk up to the shorter cartridge length but. 38/.357 that was a great shooting rifle, it had some issues running. The overall appearance is pretty similar, albeit 4" longer, and lacks the loading gate (I prefer the gate personally) but I think most people would agree Henry quality is solidly above (new) Marlin. 357 and see if someone will have the barrel threaded. That aside, if you're on the fence about Marlin quality, you could look at the Henry All Weather in. I've been looking at the Marlin 1894 CSBL myself. I had no issues or complaints with it but from what I've read, it is kind of a crap shoot at this point. I can't comment on on the Marlin 1894 specifically but I did have a Marlin 336 produced in the last couple years (I ended up selling it just because I wasn't shooting it much).
