Nice specimen. Doesn't look fired much. I wonder if the top strap has been cut beyond its ability to be salvaged?
Haha kidding! good luck with it!

The erosion tends to stop at a certain point I wouldn't worry about some top strap cutting I also wouldn't ever bother running light bullets in one of these guns

Congratulations on your new Maxi. They make great whitetail guns. I have a scoped 10 1/2" and a 7 1/2" with a Delta Point Pro. I hunt with both according to what I expect the range to be. Any possibility of a shot over 75 yards and I take the scoped revolver. Also the scope helps a lot in picking a clear shooting lane through cover, so overall I have more confidence in the scoped gun. However, you have to d/t for a scope mount, but can use only the rear sight screw hole for a red dot mount, so that might be a factor in deciding to scope or dot. I threw a Vortex Venom on just because I had one sitting in a drawer, we'll see how it does. I have a no D&T scope mount for it that I will try also but since I have no spare scopes at the moment the red dot got the nod for now. As far as the iron sights, experience tells me my eyes are not up to the task with the distances that this revolver is meant for.

I picked up a NOS Weaver No. 310 mount. I was surprised to come across one. Now if only I could find one for a Single Six.

The 357 maximum was my favorite IHMSA silhouette revolver, by Ruger, until the Dan Wesson Model 40 came out in the same caliber* I no longer have either one, but it was a fine revolver caliber for silhouette shooting* I now use Ruger's Super Blackhawk stainless 10 1/2" 44 mag, the one David calls the "Silver Hornpipe", with Bomar front & rear sights* It will probably be my last silhouette revolver, as I'm getting too old to get into the "dead frog" position, and I've never liked Standing class*

Here is my mount on a Maximum with a Vortex Venom red dot. More pictures and info on my website www.griffonhill.comThanks rugerno1, but I was hoping to find a no drill scope mount for the Maximum frame. I have a Delta Point Pro mounted on mine now, but want to switch to a scope. Probably going to get it drilled and tapped this week for a scope mount. Your rds mount looks good. Glad to see a new product being offered. Hope to see you make a mount for the DPP soon.

Wouldn't it be cool if Ruger or Lipsey's came out with a .357 Maximum Hunter with the integral scope ring cutouts. Seems like it would be a hot seller. But I guess anything re-introduced in .357 Maximum would be a hot seller.

Some Starline 357 Maximum brass, 4227 powder & good bullets, that's a winning combination right there. Sure hope Ruger is reading these because every time the Maximum comes up it draws a lot of interest. We just need a 10.5" stainless bisley that's already drilled & tapped, it would be a dream come true for the revolver hunter.
