donut757
Blackhawk
I found a used 77/357 locally for what i thought as a fair price, ~$100 cheaper than i could get one new from my searching. The seller kept the factory rings, which i was ok with cause i dont intend to put optics on there. But it did come with 2 extra mags, and it has HI-VIZ sights installed.
I was surprised to see the sights on there becuase i was under the assumption that come with traditional sights, not the hi-viz?
I did not try and test accuracy, but at 45-50 yards bowling pins were not hard to hit. It was blazing hot so i didnt shoot as much as i wanted, but a decent amount mixed .38s and .357s.
What i did find is the fmj .38s i had were no issues loading, but the soft nosd .357 did hang up a little. Has to focus a littlemore on working bolt with those being loaded. While i dont use a bolt gun much, i never hae had issues with any rounds in my Savage 110 that i hunt with every handful of years.
What types of ammo are others shooting in the 77s? i imaginethe .357 and 44s dont differ all too much.
Overall i was very pleasd with the overall feel of the rifle. Seem like it will be a very handy gun to shoot for fun, and have along side to dispatch critters if needed.
