Hello From PA
Hello everyone, new member here. I own several Henry rimfire lever rifles 22 and 22 mag. I've been pondering the purchase of a big boy steel carbine in 357. There is a slightly used one (16" carbine) with a receiver mounted skinner peep sight at a LGS not too far away for $700. Or for almost the same $ I could buy new and have it shipped to my local FFL. Any thoughts? I currently own a Rossi 92 carbine in 357 also and I'm very happy with it, just looking to add something new to the collection.

Good choice on a BBS Carbine in .357 caliber. My couple of thots. Even though it is pre-owned, if the receiver-mounted peep is what you would mod on a brand new rifle, I'd say go for it. You'd be $$-ahead.
Also Henry would be good to help out, if anything needed to be done on the rifle itself. Their guarantee of a satisfied customer is that good, as you may have already learned being a rimfire owner.
Let us know what you do finally purchase. A Henry Carbine would be great to add to your collection.

Welcome to the forum from KC! Glad you've decided to join us!
If a Peep sight is what you'd likely do anyway, I'm with PT7 on his assessment. It's about a $100 accessory, so, provided the rifle is in good shape, the value is there, even @ $700.
There are lots of BBS 357 owners here (both carbine and "rifle length"), as it's a very popular and fun round to shoot (not to mention reload).
Please keep us posted on what you decide to do and post pics. Pics are very popular here.

FWIW, I bought the rifle length brand new for about $665.00. There is the additional cost of the skinner though. Personally, all considered, I would rather start out new. Good luck whatever you decide though. I love mine..

Re: Hello From PA
Welcome from Nebraska. I bought my 357 carbine used. A claimed round count of 20. I have had zero complaints. I have since done a number of small mods to make it mine.
I love my rifle and know you will do well with yours.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
