Marlin new gun ?
Does Marlin make a 357 cowboy ? I saw a shooter's bible that showed a long, octagon barrel cowboy rifle with straight stock and checkering. The magazine also showed a 357 cowboy competition with a shorter octagon barrel and no stock checkering. Is this correct. The longer barrel version looks like what I want in 357.

As stated before Marlin stopped making the 24" barrel about 4 years ago. I just picked up a 44 cowboy with 24" a few months ago on gunbroker. It seems there are more 357s available than 44s with the 24" and at better prices.
Be patient you'll find one. The 24 hangs a bit better and the longer sight radius helps. Too bad the Cowboys like the shorter barrel

third cowboy gun
Thanks guys,
I;m going to the big gun show in Tulsa next month and hopefully I;ll find either a 357 or 30-30 with the 24 inch oct. Barrel.

Marlin will rebarrel a new gun with a 24" barrel for around $300.
