I am trying to figure out WHICH .357 lever action rifle fits my needs, and this has become one frustrating experience, mostly due to my ignorance on the topic.
Basically I want to get a rifle with 20" bbl, good trigger pull (or can be worked to be good), and a history of being an accurate firearm w/o needing constant repair trips. Will put tang sight or receiver sight (preferred) on it for sure. May scope in the future.
I guess due to having my original '86 Win. I'm kind of partial to a '92 action, but that is not a requirement.
So, sights, trigger, and overall reputation is what will help me decide, and cost flat out. However, I can work on cost given some time.
New Remlins don't excite me, but they seem to be getting better (?).
Please give me some ideas/guidance on which rifles I can look on the lookout for (including WTB). I've read and read, and looked and looked, but live in a very under-served area with only one LGS.
Will consider .44 Mag. or .45 Colt, but really want .357 Mag.
Not Cowboy shooter. Just want accurate lever action that is problem free. Spine injuries getting worse, and wanting to shoot such rifles.
Suggestions from experience please?
Thanks.
