I didn't think the .358 was trendy enough for an introduction in the American, I stand corrected. Gotta hand it to Grice, they do their part to keep the .35s alive...

I was actually taken back a little and surprised. I figured Ruger would go .338 Federal before they would go .358 Win. I’ve never owned a .338 Federal but I do like the .358 Win.
All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.
The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.

It is an exclusive run just for Grice, another page said 300 produced. Although Ruger did produce the M77 in 358 when no one else was offering it in a bolt gun.

They also did a run of .358's in the stainless/synthetic Hawkeye a while back. I owned one for a while.

I picked mine up last Saturday from my local dealer. I've only pulled it from the box, wiped it down and cycled the bolt a few times; I hope to get a scope mounted on it this weekend and get it to the range soon.
The trigger is ok, the barrel makes no contact with stock; if it shoots half as well as my Predator in 223 I'll be very happy.
I'll test it with 2 boxes of Hornady factory 200 gr. Spire Points.

Be a dandy little hammer... I’m tempted.. Me too. I have 100 pieces of brass on the shelf I bought about 3 years ago, just in case.
