Something for many different "likes" in this top 10 list.
Nothing but more plastic and bizzare variations of semi autos.
Call me 'Old School' but I'll stick with wood & blue steel!

Not fond of those X models myself but Im sure they will sell a ton of them to people who like that style.

For some reason, that Rossi looks more appealing. Simpler design maybe.

Yeah, I've heard that before. No plans to purchase one, it just looked a little more subtle I guess.

Puck up a Rossi and then a Henry, the quality, and fit and finish have no comparison. The Rossi is cute but crude. You may be Ok with that, for the significant cost difference. Not me....

I have. I own two Henry's; .357 BB brass w/20" octagon barrel and BB steel w/20" round barrel. Fellow shooter friend has five different Rossi's, so I understand the difference. Just a simple comment regarding the new "X" model Henry's and the new Rossi of similar type.

I have an older Rossi, imported through Puma.
It's the 24" SS octagon barreled one in 357.
The only thing I have done to it other than shoot the heck out of it is.
I cut just a hair less than half of the magazine tube spring off.
That cured a some time cycle issue I was having.
After that it has been 100% reliable and shoots better than I.
I also own a pair of Henry CF's, one I bought used, the other new.
No problems with either.

Wonder if any of their other pistol grip stocks would fit on that thing

I am still looking for an X locally so I can decide if I want to buy a .44 Mag. There have been a few .44 s on Gunbroker, I wonder where they came from. My LGS stocks tons of Henrys and they say all the X models are backordered.
i ran across a suppressed X .357 Mag on Reddit. The guy works in the firearm industry and apparently was able to get one early.

This one is growing on me. It look like a good truck gun that can take a beating. That and .44 mag makes for a good useful rifle. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good wood and steel rifle.

Hey All,
This Marlin in 44mag does not look like a bad alternative to the Henry x model. It is stainless an the barrel is a bit shorter and it is lighter. Does not come in 45 colt tho.

I really love a grey laminate and stainless carbine. The XS Scout Rail is top notch equipment. It is a pricey rifle and the build quality is very suspect. You may or may not get a gun that is put together right... that alone would prevent me from buying one. But it does indeed tug on my heart. I had a Marlin 1895 .45/70 just like it, once upon a time.

Hey All,
If the street price for an x is about $850 that is equivalent to the price I would pay in canada for the marlin on sale at current exchange rates. Basically the same price at least here in Canada. So is the quality of new remlins so bad the x is the better rifle? Have remlins improved in quality?

A better comparison would be the Marlin Dark Series Rifles. MSRP 967.98
