decent group from my crosman 357

[howie1968]

Here is a decent froup i shot at 15 yards from a sandback rest, i was quite pleased as both my 357 are extremely accurate this is 10 shots 15 yards, sure wish that 357 was made in 22 cal

[RC1947]

Wow, that's pretty impressive.  Well done RC

[AgentWD40_FL]

Nicely done ... what were you using for ammo?

[howie1968]

crosman premiere 7.9, both my 357 out shot my 2240 today shot from a sandbag rest im really impressed with the accuracy of these 357 and they are alot of fun

[breakfastchef]

That is pretty impressive from a 357!

[arkmaker †]

Check yeah!!! Nice, no excellent for 15 yards with a 357!

[Bill L.]

Now you have me thinking,time to fire up my old south bend and make a .22 barrel for my old 357.Might have to make a new cylinder detent but I can do that.Why? Just for the fun of it !

[1377x]

thats a very decent group
those guns sure shoot better these days or is it the shooter

[howie1968]

I owmn 2 of them and they both shoot about the same i lubed the triggers o n this one the dot is about 2 moa alot smaller supposed to be 5moa but it is real small on my other 357 i cant shoot it quite as well i dropped a few starlings with the one in the picture this morening im shooting my 357 more then my 2240 these days

They are neat guns, a lot of bang for the buck...

Here's my one hole shooter..

I had to stare at that for a while before I realized it was the Umarex 586.  It's very close to the real thing.  They really are one of the nicest co2 action pistols ever made.  I have the "stainless" version.

Howie, do you get any movement on the dot site mounted on that dovetail in the 357?  I had one on mine and there was a little wiggle because the dovetail isn't tight enough with the barrel.  I wondered if there was somewhere to put some epoxy of a set screw of some sort.

... ya, they are a head turner, it is nearly identical in weight and feel to my S&W Model 27, .357 mag, the action and trigger even feel the same! Most accurate pellet revolver I have and I got lucky with the "kit" with the 4" and 6" barrel, extra mags, pellets and fitted case for all, don't think they sell e'm that way anymore?

[howie1968]

I did at first but it seems the dovetail is pressed into the  barrel on the 357, so i got some  loctite for automotive use and loctated the  whole rail i toiced it moved so i made it solid now it dont move at all, it has increased accuracy alot . I did this on both of mine

[Fronzdan]

Hmm..yeah loctite flows better than epoxy.  I'll try that.  You use the permanent kind?

Brian, my 686 didn't come with the shorter barrel.  Wish it did because I'd like that variety.  Not to hijack the thread, but is there any work that can be done to these?  I've never had it apart.  Lightening the trigger a little would be nice...but then can't do a lot with revolvers I guess.  I usually shoot it on single action.

[BDS]

Call me crazy but... I've never had the S&W apart, she's too sweet outa the box and I don't want to hose her up!

Ditto on the single action shooting, dbl action has too much mechanical work to do to be 10 meter accurate.
