My take on the modern 357 do it all setup...

And the few times I've used Barry, I've found out that when he says it will be done in 3 weeks, he means 6 weeks. If he says a month or 2, expect a season to pass....but the results have always been great at least.

That's encouraging...good results are what I'm after. Multiple seasons have already come and past...:D

No problems shipping to Canada, it's manufactured in North America which saves duty.
A few forms to fill out and I can take my barrelled action down,drop it off with Doc in Portland and pick it up on my way back from Cali. I have already been in contact with MPI and it will run me close to 700$, let's just hope the dollar stays close to par.

As for the price...for my application and needs a pound is worth it.
Your mods on your 1894C cost 75% of what my Kevlar furniture will.

True enough. I'm sure it will be quite the gun after its done.

I think I'm just jealous because I got excited hearing about your lightweight stock idea and am just too stingy to spend that amount on a stock. :p

You're not missing out on anything, I'm just an obsessive "gram-weenie" and neglect other aspects of my life in the pursuit of ultralight kit.


I've always loved the 1894's just as they are, and your North Haven built pre-Rem is one of the keepers. My "C" is a late model and while it shoots and functions just fine it will never retain its value like yours will.
I sure wish I had one of those Rhinos to play with though.

And no red dots. I purposely avoided going that route with this build as I will be going for gophers and other small game with her. Possibly a deer if I can get within 75yards which is very possible in the loops area.

Well it's easy enough to switch out what ever you like with your setup....a red dot with a 1 -3 moa dot shouldn't block much beyond what your eye can actually see.

You know you almost make me want to get a red dot to swap on and off with the scope depending on situation/need. It is a do-it-all for me so thats not out of the realm of possibilities at this point all depending on what I'm using it for. It would have to be one that takes rings though, not an integrated rail one, since being QD detachable to swap from scope to irons to red dot is a requirement. That might require adding more carry weight though...hmmm....its a thought anyways...

I love the look of that pistol. :)

Looks seem to be a love it or hate it thing with the Rhino.

BTW the speedloaders and the holder for them are made by 5 star firearms in the US. Milled from a solid block of aluminum and engraved with the Rhino logo. Called the "Bedside block kit."

I also have an HKS-586 that fits.

In terms of holsters, well nothing leather to fit the 50DS, there are a few models that fit the 2" CC 20DS version from the US but that doesn't help us. I picked up an adjustable molle holster that is made to fit a full size auto with an attached light which fits. The front being so tall with the barrel on the bottom and all the buildup to the top site requires that extra front spacing in the holster.

Lovely setup. I like the matching cartridge handgun/carbine concept.

I would have left off the scope on the carbine to preserve it's light weight, balance and quick handling.
 
The Rynos design you can take or leave. ( the latter, for me) but the fact that they use a non steel frame in a magnum gun makes me worry about longevity.

Ah, you see thats the beauty of it. QD rings means I can take the scope off at any time. It all depends on what I'm doing at the time, and certain applications would be better suited to having a low magnification scope. Such as small game.

Ah, yes, but have you actually SHOT one yet?

There seems to be an entire cadre of individuals who hate on the Rhino for either esthetic or design purposes without ever having shot one.

Once you realize just how manageable 357 recoil is, and how little muzzle flip occurs for those rapid fire follow up shots you may find yourself not disliking it so much anymore.

I agree that QDs are the way to go. I just see my .357 carbine as a 100 yard or less rifle so the irons should do. I love the under 6 lb weight of the carbine and how it handles and points so well without the weight of optics. YMMV.

Very nice Timberwolf!

That is on my must have list of rare and super neat firearms I must get ahold of. Missed one on the EE not too long ago.

The scout scope is only 7.5oz, so its quite light. Overall I think I'm running 7.5lbs or so which is about the same as any typical scout rifle build.
