Wish I got my own 77/357 years ago. I was using and doing all the testing on the rifle of the owner of the farm I helped at. Was a family friend before he passed. Wish I could have made an offer before they sold everything. Even the farm.

Really wish these weren't so expensive. But I am glad to see these come with threaded barrels now. Saw them a few weeks back listed again and got excited. Especially because they showed a wood stock. Really don't care of the polymer one. Give me the bluee model with the heavier barrel and wood stock and I will be a happy man.

Hopefully the mags have been improved. Wasn't the biggest fan of them originally. Especially since they are a rotary mag like the 10/22. Needs some sort of stick mag.

Prices are down to the mid $800s now.  I'm looking at picking up a blued to replace my stainless.
