Thanks but loading through the tube never appealed to me. I prefer breech load like the original Winchester. Shot my buddies 45-70 Henry and the loading turned me off.

I have this exact gun. Would love to have the Taylor take down, I like take-down's.

I've looked at these before. Beautiful gorgeous guns. Unfortunately out of my price range right now.
Want to stay around the $500 range. Looking for a short-barreled SS 357 that I can take out in the woods with me while I CCW my Ruger SP 101. I like the idea of using the same ammo for both.
Seems like pricewise the Rossi is the only thing that would fit the bill.
Just let one go on GunBroker for $835. Which I think is crazy Rossi.

Wow, didn't realize the Rossi was going for so much! Mine has never been fired, sort of saving it. Going for $800 + gets met tempted...and I would turn around to buy the Taylor take down

Not really sure why this one went so high. Normally they go for about five $560. The one I let go was actually imported by LSI and it also had a large bowie knife made by LSI also which I really had no interest in.

Try the Buffalo Gun Center. If they don't have it in stock, I am sure they can get one for you. Ask for Paul Lyon. Tell him that Steve gave you his name.

Does any one know of Big Dog Arms in Roscoe, NY? I reached out to him late last night and was really surprised of a quick response early this morning. He said he is going to check for me. Would be sweet as I can go pick it up myself.

A few guys from my club have went to big dog and said they had good experiences.

Place is not too far. Never heard of them. Is it a store front? Or private?
Just called him. Real nice guy. He checked real quick and said the 357 SS 16" barrel is discontinued but he is going to try and find me one if not I will take a 20" if he could get one of those.
He does have the 16" blued model which I am going to hold off on for now in hopes he can get me the SS model.
Thanks much for the tip.

Store front right off 17 in Livingston manor. Been there a long time. Should have thought to mention it to you.

So 4 seconds before Super Bowl halftime I won An auction on gun broker's. Found a nice Rossi 16 inch stainless 357. Comes with a skinner peep site. It's going to go Nicely with my Ruger SP 101. May just become my new get up for deer hunting in New York.
Come to find out Rossi ceased production of all firearms for a while since they are setting up a new factory and retooling it to begin production again at some point in the future.

Greywolf224, where did you hear about Rossi's ceased production? This would certainly explain the tough time finding them. I want a 357 w/blued, round barrel. I found 1 but it is a 16" barrel, I was hoping for a 20". My LGS has it on his "HOT" list with his distributors. Now I'm wondering if I should just buy the 16" and be sure of getting one. I'm always apprehensive about buying ANYTHING that comes off a new production line. The price would be $529 + tax, with no room to move as it' at WalMart!
What do you guys think??
ETA: What are the opinions between 16" and 20" barrel? This will be strictly a range toy.

Very nice. You're holding out on me. Save it for your new little one.
A little further up in this thread I mentioned an outfit called big dog arms in Roscoe. Was on the phone with him for a while and we just began talking about various things. He searched for the 16 inch stainless steel and called a bunch of his vendors and stuff. They all told him that Rossi at the moment is not producing anything because they are retooling a new factory.
He did mention that he had two blue 357's in stock. I honestly don't remember if they were 16 or 20 inch. But I do think one of them was a 16 inch. Really nice down to earth guy. You may want to give them a try.
I honestly don't think ballistics are really going to change much between a 16 or 20 inch barrel. My reason for the 16 inch barrel is because I hunt very dense thick woods And think maybe the 16 inch barrel would give me an advantage somewhat.

Just wanted to toss in that Big Dog Arms is awesome. I bought my cheapest lower ever from them, $61 out the door. Highly recommended.
Honestly, Fur, Fin, and Feather also. I've been going there since I was a kid being towed along by my father. I stop there at least once a year between fishing and hunting seasons. My grandfather owned a cabin about 2 miles from the shop over the covered bridge in the 60's when my dad was a kid. We still fish there.

I agree Fur Fin feather was another awesome guy to speak to over the phone. In the 30 years that I've been in Ellenville, I can't believe I've never heard of him.
