Yes they are.very well built and classy looking. not a unclassy way at all to deliver a 300 grain projectile.
Probably a combination of both.Maybe by 2018 they had figured out how not to suck again, maybe I got lucky.
The future is going to be interesting for Marlin with Ruger at the helm.

Bought mine at a gun show. All it says is "45 Long Colt" and the SN. It eats everything you feed it and it matches my Blackhawk in cal. I guess it's all about what you want. Value and/or function.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned the Ruger 96/44. They are out there just takes some time and hunting to find one.
The magic phrase you used is 'backcountry camping in bear country.'What's the best one? Seems like Winchester doesn't make one in .44, Marlin seems like a go too, but there have a dizzying number of options. I like their 16.5" options. This isn't going to be a hunting rifle, more a fun gun/ protection/ defense in certain situations (eg. backcountry camping in bear country, etc.)
Are you taking advantage of a senior citizen with declining mental capacities and questionable eyesight? You are correct. Here is my Blackhawk, and family...

Converted a 30-30 model 94 to 44 Mag years ago Numrich used to sell the kit (original surplus Winchester parts). Worked well but packed a wallop with the light weight, plastic butt plate. My son has it now and loads it to 44 SPL specs for plinking. Fun gun, and fun to let your friends shoot with full power loads!
Always considered the Browning/Miroku Model 92s to be the gold standard in lever 357/44 cal.
