Key Features
Caliber Versatility
This rifle accommodates both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, offering exceptional versatility for range training, small game hunting, or general utility. The ability to utilize both calibers optimizes ammunition commonality while providing distinct performance profiles for varied engagements.
Robust Construction
The Big Boy Brass model features a solid brass receiver, contributing to its distinctive appearance and inherent durability. This robust foundation is complemented by a blued steel octagonal barrel, ensuring structural rigidity and longevity under repeated firing cycles. The American Walnut stock and forend are precisely fitted, enhancing both the rifle’s aesthetic and ergonomic handling.
Integrated Loading System
Equipped with both a side gate and a traditional magazine tube, this rifle offers adaptable loading options. The side gate allows for convenient, in-line reloading without cycling the action or removing the inner magazine tube, facilitating sustained firing. The removable magazine tube provides an alternative for rapid unloading or when specific ammunition types require a different loading approach.
Enhanced Ergonomics
The large loop lever is a functional enhancement, providing increased leverage and improved manipulation, particularly beneficial when wearing gloves or requiring rapid cycling under pressure. This design mitigates potential fumbling during high-stress scenarios, ensuring consistent operational flow.
Precision Barrel
The 20-inch blued steel octagonal barrel is cold hammer-forged, a manufacturing process known for producing barrels with exceptional bore uniformity and long-term accuracy potential. This precision machining contributes significantly to the rifle’s consistent point of impact.
Sighting System
The rifle integrates an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a contrasting diamond insert, paired with a fixed brass bead front sight. This classic configuration provides a clear and intuitive sight picture, allowing for rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement.
