Has there ever been a commercially available bolt action rifle chambered in .357Maximum?

I want one ! :)

Not to my knowledge, but sure do wish Marlin would chamber a lever in it. Would prefer that to a bolt, although a Max in a single shot would not be all bad either.

Why would anyone need a 357 Max lever rifle? Marlin makes their 366 rifle in 35 Rem.

Cool factor comes to mind.

No bolt action but there is always the T/C Contender and Encore option.

You can load the Max with carbide dies and not mess with case lube, is the reason I shoot my Max alot more than any 35 Rem.
NEF rechambered to Max is a good one.
Mine is a rechambered 357 mag. Ruger #1. 200gr@2300fps

Would love to have a Levergun in 357Max.

There are states like Indiana that allow the use of pistol cartridges in rifles for deer hunting. Nothing with a bottleneck is allowed, shotguns with slugs or pistol cartridges in rifles. The 357 Max would be a dream come true for those that find totting a shotgun around is as handy as totting around an 8 foot piece of 2x4 in the woods.

A 357 Max in a Marlin would sell as good or better that the 35 Rem IMO.

I am in no way affiliated with or make any money from my following recommendation. Mike Burns "The Rifler" is a long standing gunsmith, master class shooter and wonderful person to deal with. He has made MANY bolt rifles in pistol calibers such as 454 casull, etc. and has the knowlege and experience to make almost anything work. (i cant see him making a short action 20mm, but you might ask). I have several of his custom springfields and mausers and other bench guns. Mike is open to any idea and will work with anyone. If you have an idea and a little cash, call him up. He is online, search for "The Rifler" out of Pennsylvania.
