I have one of each. Bought the 357 new, sold the black stocks and installed camo stocks. Found a matching pattern camo Nikon scope for it. Lemme see if I have a pic.

Here she is. Put it together for my son trying to get him interested in hunting. He's gotten pretty good head shooting squirrels at 30 yards off the deer corn.

Until about two years ago I had a third one. Decided I didn't need three and sold just the barrel here for more than I paid for the whole rifle. Wishing now I'd kept it.

I spoke with Stewart today Dave, and I believe I shamed him in to including the purse.

All kidding aside, that stock set is gonna look great on your gun. It will be a one of a kind, thats for sure.

Is Envy a Thought?

Ghosth · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2021, 02:13:11 AM »

IMO Envy = part thought, part emotion, part beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

45/70fan · « **Reply #19 on:** July 31, 2021, 05:44:03 AM »

A nickel 20 ga barrel has been located to complete the set.

45/70fan · « **Reply #20 on:** August 24, 2021, 02:21:26 AM »

Finally gave in and got glasses (progressives) and can now see iron sights. Removed the scope and base, so I now have a Handy Gun lol. Looking at the Rossi combo gun case but holding out hope for an H&R case.

Decided the yellow wasn't for me so sold them to a guy assembling a 22 Hornet for his son. Here's my Maxi in her final dress. Shot some some of that Steinel 180 gr ammo Saturday. Shot a 1-3/8" group at 100 yards. Shaking off my shooting rust and a 2-7 scope didn't help. Not bad but I think it will shoot better.
