You may well get your wish Jim but I still haven't seen one in 35 Remington available yet. I know I have read on a few other forums of the same wish. Come out with some in pistol cartridge chamberings.
a 44 Mag wouldn't be bad but, outside of a 22LR, I don't usually have more than one rifle of any caliber .... 35 Remington might be worth considering

I bought the new 30-30 side gate Henry, it’s my 1st Henry rifle, so I’ve never experienced the tube loading, I have been to the range 3x with it and I’ve yet to open the magazine tube. I’m not sure I would enjoy pulling that tube out every 6 shots when I can slide them in with the side gate, which is the only reason I bought it.

Welcome. I bought a second 30-30 (H009), because I wanted a backup to my loading gate 30-30 (336W). The screw of the loading gate broke, and I was stuck with loading from the breech. Until, I got a replacement screw. So, I got another 30-30 in hope that I would not be caught short doing hunting season.

Congratulations! Please tell us more about your shooting experience with it. By the way, I share you sentiments on loading.

My choice would be color case hardened carbine in 357 mag. Side loader would really push my buttons. Can only hope.

Saw a Side Gate 38-55 at the LGS.
I can say it has a lot of advertising carved into the different parts.
Did not handle it, busy in there.
