Did you need something different in .357 Mag.?

I like the rifle and the idea of a bolt action .357, but I don't like the price.

Plus, I don't have anything else that shoots .357, nor can I reload for it, so I guess I'll have to pass until they've been out long enough that I can find one secondhand.

[O.S.O.K.]

I think it's a great idea. Wholesale should be around $570.

There are bazillions of .357 Mag revolvers out there and this is the perfect companion rifle to go with them.

I have a Marlin .357 Mag which is even better IMHO but this rifle will sell well.

The closer to $500 this rifle actually sells for, the more of a winner it will be.

I think I'd prefer a Marlin lever gun myself in that round. I'm sure somebody will like it, just not my cup -0- tea.

I've been thinking of a Marlin 357 but if these get good reviews (and if I could find one to see if I like it) I might go the bolt gun route instead.

Ghey. What will it do that a levergun won't?

What will a levergun do, it won't?


I would expect the bolt action to be stronger, maybe I have bad luck but I've broke 2 butts off lever rifles over the years which has always made me leery of them as a serous use rifle.

When they come out with a blue, walnut version...I'll be interested.

Shoot pointy bullets since pointy bullets technically shouldn't be used in a tube fed rifle (unless it's one in the chamber and one in the mag). Don't cuss me, I just pass the info along...

If the price was right I'd like one to go with the Marlin and Martini.

I like that it has a 5rd rotary magazine...

Shoot 10 or 11 times without reloading.

And here I am....fresh out of pointed .357.

I like the idea for small game but the lever gun does a fine job with that.

You're supposed to shoot the deer, not jump out of the stand and club it to death.

You hunt deer your way, I'll hunt them mine

Hornady can fix you up. I would but I've never felt the need to use pointy .357 bullets. If I need more range, I step up in caliber.

But aren't Hornady's LeveRevolution bullets designed specifically for leverguns? I just don't see the point of a bolt-action .357.....particularly at only 5 rounds. The levergun will have a higher cyclic rate and larger capacity. I just don't get it.

Well for states like MI, all long-arms used for hunting must be 6rds. max. If using a handgun, you are allowed as many rounds you like.....makes sense right ?!?!?
