Thoughts for a Cowboy Rifle

I recently took up Cowboy Action Shooting. It is a nice way to spend a Sunday once a month, shooting and meeting new people. My issue is that I need a new rifle for the shoots. My Winchester 94-44 just has to rough an action. I'm thinking of getting a Marlin 1894 Cowboy or a Uberti 1873. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions on this?

    #1. I'm in it for the fun mainly.
    #2. Price is always a factor but not the sole determining one. I agree that the 73/clones are neat looking guns and generally are very smooth. Haven't looked at a Henry repo.
    #3. I shoot .44 special but chamber in .44 Mag for versatility in other activity i.e. hunting etc...
    #4. Yes I already have two pistols and the "P.O.S" Winchester in the same caliber because it just makes sense to do so.

    Mainly want thoughts on rifle types to see what the folks on the board use/would if they shot CAS.
