Not much different in power than a .357 mag...

I bought a brand new .44 carbine in 1977 (?) and loved it with the exception of the 5 round in-stock magazine had problems jamming. I sold it because of that issue. I'm sure that after 40+ years they got it lined out. Nice having a rifle and revolver that shared the same cartridge though.

I also had a .357 lever gun to share with my Dan Wesson for a while. But the lever gun just wasn't for me so off it went too.

I'm just holding out for my mini-14. One of these days.

$744, typically. Pretty decent accuracy on the newer models, which have
heavier barrels and some other modifications. The trigger is just ok,
but there are some good gunsmiths around who can fix it up into a smooth
3.5 pounder. I like the rear peep sight.

I actually like the Mini 14 better than an AR in the same caliber.

Donne' gives a rat's ass about your opinions.

What unit was that you were (supposedly) with in Vietnam?

F'ing liar.

You are such an "angry" old white racist, Herring. I'm sure the decent
members of your family will rejoice when you take that long dirt nap.

What unit was that, Krause? Just another lie?

F'ing liar.

Well, my experience with .357 rifles is limited to the Italian version
of the Win '92 and my current Henry .357, both lever actions. I did get
to shoot a couple of rounds with the Ruger Model 77 .357 bolt action and
considered getting one but I have a "thing" for lever action. There
might be a .357 autoload rifle out there, but I've not seen anything
specific about one. There are lots of people who'd like to have one,
though.

The Henry .357, by the way, has a very smoooooooth action, and virtually
no kick. I have a 1x4 scope/red dot on mine, and it is very accurate at
50 to 100 yards. Haven't shot it beyond 100 yards but once, and that was
before I scoped it.

Let me guess. You watched every episode of the rifleman. You probably
envied the love and respect the kid had for his dad.

But lever guns done operate well in prone position

They do with a little practice:

Seems to be some problems with getting a new round chambered while in the prone
position, even with a 'rest'. Tim's right.
