I have a trapper in 44 mag and another 20" lever in 45 colt.

I love mine...they are great truck guns.

I didn't pay over $325 for either one of them.

I had the Win. trapper 16" in .44 mag.

After I tuned it up,  it was too cool !

About as light and handy as a LW  CAR-15,  but with a THUMP.

I sold mine.  Seemed kinda pointless with a couple M1 Carbines and CAR-15's in the safe.

Big 5 has them all the time for $319.00 and on sale for $299.00.  I wouldnt pay much over that for one and would seriously consider the .44Mag over the .357.

Trapper in 44mag here

I've had it for around 10 years, extremely fun to shoot ( and lightweight )

The Marlin version ( which is no longer avail in 16in ) seems better quality

I owned one and it was a very accurate rifle. I sold it to a freind  because I am a semi-auto guy.
I thought it would be  a good idea to have a .357 rifle along with my .357 revolvers.  I came to the conclusion that I just want a semi-auto.  I could not complain about it's accuracy or it's simplicity. If you are into lever action rifles; get one! My .02!
