HELP!Should I....?
« on: April 23, 2009, 03:02:26 PM »
Found a "new" .357/20 guage combo.Serial # starts with AZ so guess it's a '85 model?Seems awfully old to be new.They guy will take $250 for it.Tried to get him to sell just the.357 barrel,but no.Have no idea if I'd even use the shotgun barrel but I kinda want the .357.Pro's con's...Should I?

Just for comparison, you can get a new SB1 357mag/20ga combo with rifled slug barrel for $290 delivered, you can get other shotgun barrels fitted to it if you want.  ;)

Thanks Quick.Just being too antsy.Would rather have the sb2 frame rebarreled if they ever get the .357's in.Then again if he sits on it long enough maybe he'll come down some more on price.

 I traded for the 44mag/12 slug   Combo on a SB1 and so far am happy as could be, Dont really have a use for the slug gun barrel personally .. But hey you never know when you might get to go to a new hunting spot that doesnt allow anything but the slug gun option.. I just know with out a doubt that the 44 will never have to worry about another barrel pilfering its reciever ;) And it shouldnt have to anyways , its one hell of a shooter...

 So should you decide to go with the sb1 theres some experience..  Now on the other hand my first handi was the SB2 357mag and it too was a hell of a shooter ( starting to regret getting rid of it )

 So if i understand this right you have a 357mag/20 combo on a SB1 reciever for $250 ... Offer a little less and leave your 357 dedicated , If you want to play with the other barrels then pick up a reciever out of the forums ;)

 And that 20 might come in handy for a younger hunter in the future , just a thought.
