I keep poking my nose at getting a 357 carbine, but am not thrilled at really any of the offerings, not quite sure why. I like the idea of a bolt action, but only Ruger makes one - but, I really dislike the polymer stock, and well - I own too many Ruger brand items already IMHO
I want an accurate 357 Carbine. I think a lever action, is not as accurate as a bolt action, so - I'm leaning toward bolt, but they are not out there. Is this a correct assumption?
Can I find something else and have it rechambered or just have a gunsmith drop a different barrel into it?
This is just a range carbine so I can mess with reloading .38 Special and .357, but I'm just not seeing anything that really stands out to me. I'm also consdering just going with a Henry single shot, but - I'd rather have a bolt action with 5 rounds or something.
