Now I Need A Big Boy .357

Post by ditto1958 » Fri Jun 24, 2016 8:40 pm

A buddy at the range invited me to shoot his Big Boy today. Now I "need" one of my own. :)

His Big Boy, not surprisingly, is very nice. The action is smooth, the trigger is good, and shooting .357 out of a hefty carbine like that means recoil is non-existent.

a BB Steel 357 has been calling my name for several months but so far, I've managed to ignore it .... with us already having a BB Steel 44 Mag, the only real rational I can give for buying a 357 is, I'd really like to have one .. ;) .. my more rational side keeps asking, Do you realize how many rounds of 44 ammo I can buy for the coast of a new rifle ???? .... the good thing is, being rational doesn't always win out .. :D

.44 x ammo ÷ rational x (logic) ~.357 mag = BUY ONE.

It really is a simple formula.

I'd love to live in a world where I could convince my wife of validity of this simple formula ... ;)

Looking forward to the range report. :D
