Finally got to the range with it. I ended up ordering it off Gunbroker because I couldn't find one in Canada. I had Prophet River import it me for a good cost. Well worth the cost and two months it took.
This thing is very nice, made by Miroku Japan. I think my Browning 22 is made there too, it's also very nice. Action is very slick, metal and wood fit and finish are top notch. The wood has a very nice grain.
I first sighted it in at 50 yards, and only had to move the elevator down one click to get the American Eagle .357 JSP on target. My third group off a rest had two shots in the ten ring and one up and to the right in the seven. I then shot two ten shot groups (magazine capactiy) off hand at the same distance and got all ten shots on each 8x11 paper with eight out of ten shots in the target rings.
Very impressed and happy, especially considering my last .357 lever gun was a new Marlin.
