I had a 357 MAX not MAG with a letter from Ruger that it was a special order. The person who ordered it never came back to buy it so I paid what the gunstore had into the deal. I remember it was cheaper than if I wanted the 7X57 #1 they had next to it, but cannot remember the price.

The gun would not group with anything other than 200 grain FMJ for silh shooting. It also would not eject or extract rounds all of the way out. It was obvious that Ruger used a 357 mag to make this rifle.

Sold it to a hog hunter for his son. He was a closet gunsmith as well.
