Ruger 357 Maximum
Mark, I got your email, thanks.
I bought this gun several years ago from a guy who carried it in the floorboard of his truck. It looked pretty rough to say the least. But I wanted it because I knew Ruger didn't make them any longer and I had always wanted a 357 Maximum. I know one shouldn't refinish a gun, for collector purposes but I wasn't planning on ever getting rid of it. So I called Ruger and asked them what they charge to reblue it. To my surprise, the price was $35.00 plus $5.00 to ship it back to me. I sent it to them and a few weeks I got it back. I was surprised again. You couldn't tell this gun from a new one. They not only reblued it but installed a new front sight, back sight, both walnut grips, hammer, trigger and a few other parts I can't recall. This was all done for a total price of $40.00. Anyway, thanks for the info. It's not for sale, I was just curious.
It sure is a sweet shootin gun. With that 10.5 inch barrel, it'll sure reach out there. I do beleive it will out shoot my Colt Anaconda 44 mag.

Ruger 357 Maximum
Speaking of guns (again). I like big pistols, since I have a Colt Anaconda in 44mag and King Cobra, Smith & Wesson 629 Classic and the above mentioned Ruger 357 Maximum. But to tell you the truth I like shooting my Ruger Mark II Target better than any gun I have. It's easy on the ears and the pocket book.
If any of you ever get the chance to pick up one of those old Czech CZ-52, it's a good shoootin gun. It fires the little powerful 7.62x25. Another good one is the East German Makarov. There's lots of good buys on old army surplus handguns.

I've always wanted one of those old Colts but never had the money.
I do have an old Winchester model 94 in 30/30. It was made in 1912, with the long hexagon barrel. It's a nice gun but just a bit on the heavy side.
30/30 used to be the choice caliber for deer hunters around here. That was back when we had lots of cover. Now the timber industry has taken care of that with clear-cuts. I'd say the most popular caliber now would be the 270.
