I walked into the local gun shop….

Sounds like a nice gun. You’ll enjoy the scope capabilities of that gun. I’m finding real pleasure in these pistol round rifles. It’s a fun change from neck turning, tight chambers and the chase of tiny groups. Kinda like a grown man’s Red Ryder.

I walked into sportsmans warehouse few weeks ago on my way home from work. Wasn't looking to buy anything. Just wanted to relax before going home from a long day in the office. Sure enough I found something I couldn't live without. A ruger 77/357. I have wanted one for years but never see them for sale. It was used but looked new. Also grabbed a bottle of h110 and some 158 grain bullets. Took it out last weekend just to try it out with cheap 38special loads and a suppressor. Fun to shoot. Quiet and light too. Trying to talk myself into using it on my javelina hunt next weekend.

Somebody at the range I talked to let me shoot his that was in .44 magnum. It was very likeable and a fun shooting experience.

You know Josh I feel the same way. I have always had a few lever rifles but a year or so ago I started to pick up a few more and I been having a lot of fun with them just like you are. On my Henry’s I been mounting a scope and working up loads but not spending a huge amount of time doing it then I pull the scope and just have fun shooting the iron sights

Yup! I’m with you! I just wish my eyes were better. I think I got a new pair of glasses a few years ago. The ones I’m using might be them or they might be an older pair.

I had trouble seeing the iron sights on my Henry 357 all weather. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes and have distance lens in both eyes. I replaced the irons with a peep sight and gold dot from Skinners and the ability to see the target is amazing! Highly recommended! Danny

the eyes are my issue to. i just put one of those glowing front sites on my 336. that seems like its gonna help - havent tryed it yet. mabie one would help you.

PS - on some irons wearing a pair of cheap readers/cheaters help me alot. i have distance lenses in my eyes from cataract surgery.

Oh and see wat you did- - got me thinking of a lever action 44mag—

@hoz53, I use 1.25 readers when shooting handguns but they didn’t work well on a rifle with iron sights. Al my rifles now have either peeps or scopes. Danny

yeah - thanks for that info- i have tried quite a few different powers of readers with different guns and sites and scopes. some they help some not. my nondominant left eye is in alot better shape than the right and its easy to shift to that eye shooting a handgun with irons. shooting an M1 garand last summer the peep site on that helped and using readers with the peep helped more but its amazing to me how clear a picture of the front site i could get without any corrections with my messed up right eye.

If you get a Rossi, I have them figured out. They’re pretty good for the price. Spring is coming.

A Ruger 77 357 seems to me to be a very good way to go suppressed. I have been looking for one, but have not found one for sale new or used yet.
