    Does it feed ok? My 300 whisper savage doesn't feed blunt noses bullets well.

    Good ideas fail to die would be my guess.

    Well fellows, from what I read over on the Ruger forum it sounds like Ruger must have been listening. Sounds like they have a 77/357 on the drawing board.

    I spoke to a couple of friends today at the Concord gun show who work in the Ruger plant at Newport. Apparently it's more than just on the drawing board. They told me that there were a few bugs being worked out with magazine feeding issues - but thought it would be on the market in the next 2 or 3 months.

    Just hope the mag length is long enough

    So we can load out the boolits to maxamize the case capisity

    Sweet, after they get these going maybe they will add more calibers to the line up.

    I'm a little late here, but a 77/357 does sound like a neat gun for cbs. Don't know what it'd do that my 1894c won't, but still sounds like fun. I guess more pointy boolits would be one thing.

    I had a Browning 357mag lever gun money got tight so I had to sell it.
    Sure was fun shooting I would love to have one in a bolt gun.

    Seems like you could rechamber to 357 max and shoot it single shot while still using the rotary mag for 357 mag.

    I have never seen the spanish destroyer, but it was chambered in 9mm largo I believe. I don't know if it would handle 357 or not.

    I would buy at least one if they chambered it in .357 Max.

    I think I would rather have a magazine tube ala a 22 rimfire rather than a clip magazine if I had a choice. Could be a half length and would still hold more than a clip mag.

    I bought one and I am kicking myself for not buying another in 44mag also

    and if only I'd had the foresight to buy a couple of each!

    I want to sell mine, and buy a couple singleshots. it is fun, but doesn't fit me well.

    if I could get another stock for it to whittle on... perhaps I could actually make it shootable with the open sights
