From what I hear the .357 mag does very well from a levergun, the supermag should be a little better or maybe a lot better. Back in another lifetime I was interested in the .357 Herrett. I would think the supermag in a levergun could outdo the Herrett.

I really like my .357 Max Contender carbine barrel. The (reply)

chambering is very flexible. I've played with it for a while but it was so easy to work with that I didn't feel there was more to do with it than this. http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/search?q=357+maximum

be just a dandy.

As an aside, my brother works with a single mom. He volunteered to take her son on a hog hunt with us. Bro' Dan brought along an NEF in .357 Mag loaded with the 140gr(?) Hornady FTX bullets. Colton got his chance Saturday morning and made a wonderful shot on a mid-sized porker, dropping it right there. Not a Maxi but a close cousin of your son's rifle.

I regret once passing on a Savage Model 24 with a .357 Max tube. I don't recall the shotgun barrel anymore but the rifled one still haunts me.

Hmmm....going to have to look at my stock. (reply)

My boy will be 5yrs this January. I bought a SB2 frame Handi rifle soon after he was born and sent it in for a 357 mag barrel to be fitted and bought a youth length stock at same time. Then I sent the barrel off and had it shortened up a few inches, throated out for the Max and drilled for a front sight. It remains yet unfired; gift for my boy. Wont be too much longer now maybe a couple more years, ha. I can't wait to see how it shoots but he will be first. I reckon he'll have my bisley grip frame Max blackhawk on his hip as well someday.
