) ... But, today I added a .357 to the collection. 
She's a beauty that I can barely wait to take to the range this weekend!
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
Finally!
Re: Finally!
Good choice. Useful caliber, American made, and the company stands behind the rifle 100% for life.

Re: Finally!
Very nice! 357 carbines are a ton of fun. I have a 77/357 on layaway 'cuz one wasn't enough. Yours looks better though. 
Re: Finally!
Congrats on the New 357 !
I have had mine for couple of years and just love it.......
My neighbor recently acquired and new BB 357 steel. Well, we took it out in the yard and I give it a whirl.
Needles to say I fell in love with it.
End result = Picking up my 357 steel today.
Watch out! These rifles are addicting.
Enjoy that Beautiful new 357 .
May it bring you joy for many years to come!
HAppy SHootin To All!

Re: Finally!
Got to the range on Sunday.
Man, this is a fun rifle! She ran like a champ with .357's but .38's were a problem. Tried two rounds, and had to break it down both times to clear a squib. *** important lesson: if something feels wrong, stop and check the bore. *** 1st time I felt nothing at all, so I figured it didn't chamber ... Imagine my surprise when I cycled it again, and a spent shell ejected. I ran a bore snake down the barrel, and no go. After a cleaning rod effortlessly punched the bullet the rest of the way out, I tried again to see if it was just a bad round. Nope. Each time it came within 1/4 inch of clearing the muzzle, but not quite. The ammo (Herters 158 gr.) cycled fine, but I'm guessing it was just underpowered. It felt normal in my 4" S&W 686, but would not clear the 20" barrel.
I'll have to try some hotter brands in .38 next time.
