You better make tracks and pick that sucker up.  That's a good price, even by Minnesota standards.  Not so easy to find, either.  Go For It.

got the NEF Handi Rifle "Limited Edition" in .357 Mag. I should have some fun because I must have 10 boxes of various and sundry 38 Spl and .357 Mag ammo. I am really anxious to hear how quiet the 148 Wadcutter Target ammo is. Should be pretty quiet. When all is said and done,,there is a Maximum reamer to be had.
Also, lo and behold here is an article on coyote hunting in the Varmint Hunter Magazine using this same rifle in .357~! This should be a fun gun. I have some SPEER SHOT capsule ammo around, too. Snake rifle?

Alan: You are one lucky shooter! Can you post a picture of the gun? I am still waiting for my .357 barrel, got about another month to go before it's due. I have a straight stock I picked up at a gun show that will look great with a Schnabel forend. Looking forward to using it this fall with a max load of 2400 and the Hornady 180-grain XTP. Let us know how your .357 shoots.

Congratulations Alan, you are in for some fun now...you got a great deal, now go out and enjoy it. The .38 Special mid range wadcutters are great for squirrels and such and the .357 +p+'s are a fine whitetail deer load, a good Max job never hurt anything either however you will have fun as it is also....<><.... :)

You will love it, got a 357 put a peep, fire sight front sight & manliquer stock. Shoots sweet have a frame in h&r for another will need to ream them both or just use 360dw brass. Have some 357's 180xtp loaded out to the rear crimp grove with no problem, just need to try shooting them, may not reed to ream if they get close to 357max vel.

Have fun it's a cream puff to shoot
That's my boy, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
