Ruger M77/357

I've got the Rossi lever in .357. Nice little gun that, with some light work, can be slicked up nice, and it can be had for under $450. .357 is a fun round out of a carbine.

Hi;

    Was interested in the M77/357 but got sticker shock.   For someone looking for a carbine in pistol calibers - HiPoint makes carbines in 9mm,40 S&W and .45acp. Their mags may need a little tweeking but they are cheap,fun and mags from the carbine also can be used in the Hipoint pistols of the same caliber.

    Of the 9 Hipoint pistols and carbines and the 38 mags for the weapons, I only had 1 mag that was in need of tweeking. If you left the mags set for a month or 2 loaded - the mag may "self" tweek with no problems.

     Lifetime warranty on pistols and carbines.

     If Hipoint would come out with a 38/357 pistol/carbine or a .45 long colt deal - I would buy them.

     Hipoint had to open up a second manufacturing facility to handle the demand.

Thanks Dip, but having so many .357 already - the M33/357 either carbine, bolt or lever will be the caliber.
Getting one in any other caliber reduces its overall same-same usefulness to me.
