RUGER VAQUERO
1 Attachment(s)
Christmas came early this year. Decided to treat myself to a stainless steel Ruger .357 magnum 4.62 inch barrel. Regarding that box of ammo in the picture, I'm too cheap to buy the .357 magnum bullets LOL. I ordered one box of 250 rounds, they billed me for one but sent four boxes. They inform me they do not allow returns on ammunition I guess I'm stuck with those additional 750 rounds. Much thanks to Box for his advice he gave me much to think about.

If I may offer a suggestion: A Stainless Steel .357 Magnum Lever Action Rifle to match that handsome pistol!

hm....
The Ruger Vaquero is a fine modern day interpretation of the Single Action Army pistol that helped win the American West. While I am a big fan of Marlin rifles... ...a YUGE fan of the Marlin 1894 Series specifically, I must zealously disagree with your suggestion that a Marlin would be the correct rifle to pair with a Vaquero. That would be like the wait staff at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse suggesting that he pair his Bone-In filet with a glass of Moscato. - if ever someone needs a rifle to pair with the SAA or any one of its numerous clones, that rifle would be a Winchester Model of 1873 - the RIFLE that helped win the west - perhaps even a Model 66 were he so inclined... ...and that rifle should be chambered in the exact same caliber as his pistol so all in the Universe can be at peace. Honest mistake - this one is on the house - just try to be more careful next time so we dont get a rip in the very fabric of time and space |

My rifle, not a MDL 73 however a MDL 92 32-20. Were I to get a rifle it would be as you suggested in the same calibre as my handgun.

Thank you for the re-direction

As you stated, the caliber must match that of the pistol for to do otherwise may result in more than just a rip in space and time, but carrying excess ammo. I prefer a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon with my Filet. |

So are you available to teach me how to hit something at 100 yds. with it? :D |

I shall take your advice as far as practice is concerned. I just got a set of loading dies today powder and primers I plan on having lots of fun. Take care of yourself and Merry Christmas! |
Cool coincidence
Just today Mom gave me my Uncle Norman's model 94 , 30-30.
As well as his model 62 , .22. The 22 was the gun I learned to shoot with and the 30-30 was used to take my first deer. They will not be safe queens and if Skadi favors me they will put me at on the table. |
