Rolling block in .357

Post by Twotone » Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:54 am

Hi
Anybody have a recommendation for a nice rolling block in .357? I had intended to go for the 45-70 but here in the UK the ammo cost is a killer. I already have a BBB in the same calibre which I handload for so decided to go for the same in a rolling block. How do they compare to a lever action accuracy wise over 100 yds ? Just curious and wanting a different rifle to play with.

Thanks, the uberti is available over here but not actually handled one yet as they are not anywherre near me, they do look nice though and I hear the 1873 they make is pretty good. the cimmaron I doubt i will see here unfortunately. I just fancied something a little bit different to shoot, love my BBB now it is shooting right and I am a bit bored with the .223 so another challenge is wanted and santa comes soon ha ha!
Thanks again

My 1860 is imported by Cimarron but manufactured by Uberti. So is my revolver. Quality is excellent and I handled an 1873 Uberti in .357 in a store not long ago and she was a beauty. Case colored receiver and butt plate, and gorgeous wood. I'd pack it on my saddle anytime.

Our local shop has one of those baby rolling blocks in stock, bit it's in a 38-55, so I've passed on it. Might want to look at one before buying if you're a big guy. Actually a very small carbine-like gun in dimensions.

:) Hi North country gal,
Thats OK, I am not a big guy ha ha. I also looked at the Pedersoli target rolling block which looks very nice but here it would be a special order and no chance of shouldering one first so a bit reluctant incase it is not a good fit. Its always a toug devision, really would like a rolling block but would also love another lever such as the beautiful Uberti. :)
