This is like walking into the barn and asking should I have another drink. Why yes, yes you should. Start shooting the 30-30 and save up for the 357. If you keep an eye out Budsgunshop will have a sale from time to time. I just got my Rossi 44 mag 20 inch for under $450 and that is with a lifetime warranty. Just keep checking the web site. When it goes on sale they have a 90 day layaway. Buy it and pay it off before the 90 days are up. Only time I sell a gun is when I can't get it to shoot like I want it. Other than that, you won't find another 30-30 for $265 again.
