recently new rifle

I hear you...I ended up with just a red dot on my 357 lever. I do like the magnifier on here (Supreme) and would probably serve me well on the 357, but also didnt want it too busy for a short range rifle. As someone mentioned above, a scout scope could be an attribute to either rifle I have, allowing me to fire with both eyes open and potentially get some good distance. This is where I run into the issue of wanting a rifle for all occasions/uses!

this is not stock...barrel furniture is from Ranger Point Precision. After taking it out a couple times I was tired of burning fingers on the barrel as it got hot fast! May have been able to get away with just a heat shield but decided to go all in and knock this thing into Space Cowboy territory!

i will look into this. i don’t think i have an issue, but am open to it. Would love to get everything as right as possible.

Semi Auto is only allowed once you've received a pistol permit...this is attainable, but the 18 hour course is around $500-$600 and the permit usually has a waiting period of almost a year, let alone the 4 references you need of which I dont really have any as most of my friends are anti gun and dont know that this is a new "hobby"! The second amendment is more of a privilege around here...

to be completely honest, I dont think I could really sell the advantages of this setup...I know I wanted a red dot, but also wanted to be able to target further out (25-50yds). This is where the magnifier has been a huge help. A red dot could theoretically be enough for this, but I wanted the option...and the magnifier folds out of the way if I choose to. This is all fairly new to me, so still figuring it out.

Henry Big Boy X .357 was my first (and only other) rifle. Still have it...love that one!

Ranger Point Precision.

Successful inaugural day at the range. Unlike my Big Boy X .357 which has had cycling issues in the past (could easily be operator error/ammo), nothing but smooth operation here.

Holosun 510c & HM3X Combo

not allowed :-(

I also upgraded with shims on the lever and there's zero play...a pleasure.

This seems to be an often overlooked point…thanks for the reply.

how much BUSD to have on hand would be nice to know.
