I've had so much fun shooting the first one (bottom), I tracked down the other one, and snagged it too.

interesting ..... what are they ?

Sorry...Springfield Armory (IMI) Timberwolf .357 Magnum.

I bet those are fun to shoot. Nice.

agree .... in 357, they should be fun to fire

They do look interesting... tell us more.

These guns were made in the late 80's through the early 90's by Israel Military Industries in Israel. They were imported by Action Arms, Springfield Armory, and UZI. They were available in .357MAG/.38SPL, and in .44 MAG. It is about 36" overall, and 5.5lbs empty. 10 round tube magazine, short little stroke on the pump, and quick to get on target.
A friend of mine came into some guns earlier this year, and these were in the collection. I bought one and it has quickly become my favorite gun for plinking around the woods on our property. So much so, I had to get my hands on the one I originally passed on. If you get the chance to shoot one, do it. It handles like a .22, but packs a much bigger punch.

How fast can you blast through 10 rounds?

Great looking rifles. Congratulations, nice find.

Can't say I've timed it, but pretty quick. Faster than I can with my GB.

Thanks. I really like them. I'm not sure on the scope though...points and shoots great without it.

Congrats Man.

Thanks. They are a hoot.

Encouraged to see the interest in pump action rifles. They don't have the nostalgia of lever guns, but they really should, given they've been around a long time, not to mention how easy they are to shoot.

Agreed. I have an old pump action .22 Remington (model 121) as well. It is also quick, easy, and fun to shoot.

I am envious. A 357 pump would be a wonderful idea for me.

I was seriously considering an All-Weather Big Boy in .357 when these came up. The two combined were less than the cost of a Big Boy Steel. I may still get an all weather BB (such a good looking gun), but would switch things up a bit and get a .44.
You know, if there were a demand for it (who am I kidding?..it would be a niche market within a niche market), Henry could conceivably make some pretty sweet pump action pistol round rifles. They already have a slick little rimfire pump.

I have Savage from the early 80's in 35 Rem.
Great gun, and have taken a handful of deer with it.
I need to drag it out and shoot it, been a couple years since I have.
