Hello All,
I am seriously considering a Taurus Model 66 in .357 magnum as my first revolver. I would be buying the 4" blued model and would eventually be matching it with a Marlin lever gun in either 30-30 or .357. I have already done the AR's and plastic fantastic pistols and am now in the mood for a blued steel and wood combo.
My question is are the Taurus revolvers quality firearms? I have done some research and it seems like people either like them or dislike them (or dislike Taurus in general). I really like the look of the Taurus in blue and they appear to be about $100 - 130 cheaper than the similar Ruger GP-100 (which I find slightly less attractive). $100+ more for the Ruger would be stretching my budget also.
As always, thanks for any and all assistance and insight.
