Interesting.

I've been wanting to pick up a single shot or bold action in .450 Bushmaster to experiment with. I keep going back and forth between the Henry single shot and the Bergara or Savage Bolt actions.

I have yet to read anything that shows extremely good accuracy with the 350. I mean a couple inch group at 100 just doesn't get me excited for the cartridge.
My 450 Bushmaster is a tack driver with every load I've tried, I just hate chasing brass!

Ray, I cannot offer much on this, except that it looks like you are having some fun -- which is the whole point.

Not 'new' but I have an Encore in 300 Blackout that has been fun to mess with. Threaded so quiet with the right loads, and accuracy potential should be great in that gun. Had it several years but need to shoot it more. Someday.

I'd say that's bold talk...

Sorry, just couldn't resist!

I was not aware of the CVA Scout pistols. Now I'm intrigued. Your referencing 357 Max in relation to them really piques my interest. I've got one of their 35 Whelen rifles and it's a dandy - as long as you use a scope with enough eye relief on it to keep it off your eyebrow. My son and I whacked the white buffalo with it out at the Whittington Center last June, using Kentucky windage and a good spotting scope. But I digress, only mentioned it as I'm quite impressed with the rifle platform.

Is it a take down version, or not? I confess I've done no looking into the 350 Legend, but in a single shot rifle or pistol I'd find it far more interesting. Looking forward to further reports. There's a lot of free bore in front of a 9mm Parabellum, so doubt accuracy will be stellar. Other than that I can't imagine a reason to NOT try a couple "for grins and science".

Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about.
I type too fast sometimes and don't always catch some of that stuff.
You should see my notes in our claims manager. I get WTF emails all the time.

Love my Encore ! I purchased it with a 14.5" 45/70 barrel years ago back when i thought that anything worth doing was worth over-doing

Sigh -- I will source a .22 barrel and a target forend for it some day sooner than later i hope -- then i can get a bit more use out of it


Was watching the movie "Hard Target" years ago and i wondered at the time what sort of blunderbuss LAnce Henriksen was supposed to be shooting ---- looks like a Contender with no sights
