These rifles are light weight, short, & in my opinion just right for my needs. With the extra magazine, it provides versatility while hunting with different types of ammo in each.
With the NECC peep sight makes it easier to see for my old eyes, easy off & back on, without losing your zero, using just a tunnie to tighten it up.
As for being .357, no it's not for long range or shooting moose or bear, not that I wouldn't use it close up for protection if needed, but for a fun little rifle, hunting smaller game, shooting targets including tin cans & steel plates, it will provide many hours of enjoyment without punishing recoil, & at the end of the day, not develop that dreaded magnum-itis flinch.
Now, if they can make one in .32 H&R mag/.327
