Title: i bought another 357 this morning but rigged it differently
Post by: howie1968 on December 24, 2012, 05:25:40 PM
i went to academy this morning and bought another 357 with the intentions of putting a red dot on it. i found a BSA that has red green and blue so i got it home sighted it in and wow shots are really fast on aluminu,m cans and plastic bottles hanging from the trees even when moving im able to hit them most shots. and im even able to hit my spinners now. i got my other one out and painted the front sight red going to try that first if that dont work  im going with white. i can shoot it ok with just black but iwanted a little better sight picture

Nice! They sure are fun shooters.


The older models did not have that scope rail. I have one of the scopes made for the 357, but I don't have the rings to go with it. Someday I will need to make them.

Cool the 357 is a great plinker I have a old one from the 80s and just last year bought the new 10 round 357 I must say for the Money the 357 is a great buy. I think I will try the red dot on mine. Good luck and shoot safe.

Mike.

do those have a weaver or a 11mm dovetail? I ask because almost all redots i look at have a built in weaver mount.. can you switch the mounts on red dots?

Those BSAs are both Weaver and dovetail.
