Rerun-- bbl length for lever .357: 16", 18",or 20"
I would go with 16". I have a 94 45 Colt trapper that is just wonderful for quick accurate shots. I would think the 357 Mag would be just a great. My 94 holds 9 rounds, I would think the 357 would hold as many.

- You also lose magazine capacity - you're down to six rounds - stonewalrus, 2014-02-24, 18:02
- The 18" Marlin will get 2000 fps for the 158 gr XTP -
