The 77/357 - 5.5 lbs of handy pleasantry.
The straight stock and 18'5" barrel allow it to mount and point well.
The 5-round rotary mag leaves the bottom smooth.
NEGC Aperture and Williams higher profile front bead handle the sighting chores.
And the stainless Bbl and action and composite stock make it tougher'n boiled boot-leather.
And what's not to like about a heavy .357 Magnum out of a carbine Bbl.?
JSP will take deer sized game to 150 yards and beyond, and Hollow Points will rival a shotgun in social work up close. All for very little recoil.
It is no wonder so many are so fond of their pistol caliber lever-action carbines. They flat Work.
But I'm a bolt and semi-auto rifleman.
...and am jackpot lucky to have stumbled onto this somewhat obscure, yet absolutely charming li'l wonder.
It is literally the first rifle in my freezer, and every time has to lose the argument why another should go instead (or, as is most likely the case, "as well").
Sure, you can scope her...
But when it comes down to it, the first thing you will want to do is take her glasses off.
She doesn't really need'em, and they mess up the balance and handling and just get in the way.
And what girl doesn't look and handle better in a peek-a-boo peep.
Sure, it's a little pricey.
Most really nice thing that will last nearly forever are.
And it's not Winchester lever action carbine pricey, either.
It's a fair price for the tool that it is.
$22.50/50 box for AE JSP, $16/50 box for PPU FMJ/FP.
Both shoot well inside of 3 MOA, from field positions, which is all I ever ask of a field rifle and aperture sights.
So, if you have the need...?
Consider one.
