Something of a grail gun for me, been wanting one in this configuration for a few years. 24" barrel, 357 Magnum. This one's in really good shape, bluing is pretty well perfect & only a few small handling marks on the wood. And the wood is spectacular! Looks good inside as well, carrier is in good shape & the "snail" cam on the lever has already been radiused.
Bought it from a local fellow, helping the widow of a recently passed friend to sell some of his guns. Best I can tell from looking into these for the past couple years, the price was fair to both me and to his friend's wife. We chatted for quite a while, swapping stories about his buddy & general gun guy stuff. Really nice fellow, was a great time meeting him.
Hoping to get out for a bit tomorrow before the weather moves in, & get some shooting in. Won't have time for a real load test to see what it likes best, but I'm itching to fire it. Will just take a box of the lightish load that shoots well in my other 357 rifles.
