New .357 mag handi?
« on: April 02, 2010, 05:14:27 PM »
Saw this on rrarms website. Says .357 mag with 18 3/4" barrel and hardwood stock.  Doesn't say whether it's an SB1 or SB2.  Can anyone shed some light on this model? http://www.rrarms.com/catalog.php?prod=GSB135T.

My spidey senses tells me that they are just regular SB1 357 mags that were bulk ordered, then cut down for a special 3rd party series from Talo as the "Trapper" model.

There are numerous threads on the Talo Trappers posted over the last month, the 357 and 44mags are SB1, look at the model number, SB1-35T and SB1-44T.

Like the others have said it is a SB-1 with the barrel cut to 18 3/4 inches with sights. All the web sites claim them come with a scope base as well, but mine didn't. It is a very nice rifle, that barrel length is perfect. Looks good, shoots great! I have reamed mine to .357 max, but haven't got to shoot any of the big rounds through it yet. I just finished pulling two days of security for Mark Martin, Darrell Waltrip and Tony Stewart and will use some of the money to get reloading supplies...the things I do to feed my Handi addiction!
