358's

[Marlin32]

Man, where are all the 358's at??
Have been cruising internet for a BLR pistol grip 358, there are none. Big dealers say out of stock.
I can find the BLR 81, but don't want that one.

Not many savage 99's around either, and are selling in the 1500 and up range.

Methinks you're shoveling sand against the tide.

AFAIK, there are NO pistol-gripped .358 BLR's that are not BLR-81's, since before the BLR-81, all the BLR's had straight grip buttstocks.

Soooooo, anyone wanting a .358 that's not a BLR-81, is limited to an earlier straight-grip BLR.

Yep. Technically the Lightnings are not 81s. You don't want the pre-81 anyway. Mags are over two bills. The 81 and later are equally or more strong than the pre-81 due to the fact that the pre-81s lock the bolt into the receiver and the 81s and Lightnings lock the bolt into the barrel itself.

Guess I need to work on my 99 in .358 Win.

Look here young man. The only thing you need to do to obtain what you are gleefully looking for is to send me $1200 plus $40 for shipping and insurance and this like new Savage will be pleasantly delivered to your favorite FFL.

I was about to take pictures to put this on Guns America for $1400 but a short sale here means I pay no posting fees or answer the questions of a dozen of whack jobs who just ask stupid questions and have no real desire to buy......so.....the $1200 price.


The rifle is a tack driver, especially with cast bullets. I logged 144 rounds out of it and quit shooting it because is boringly accurate.....guaranteed. Plus I have another half dozen of other 35 caliber rifles.

You asked.........I answered.......

I had the same problem... so I bought a 99 E in 308, had it rebarreled in 358win.
yep not original but still I now have a 358win 99 ...



some are having a 99 rebored ... not sure if the barrel is thick enough
but it's still cheaper ..

just a few thoughts .. good luck in you search

[Marlin32]

Who did that set up for you? How does it shoot?

mazys in az .. did the rebarrel about 1999 ish ...

scope is a burris 2x8, leather by Levergun leather works on another site, paint
by a guy who doesn't do paint any more ..

and using 200 grn win silvertips well you decide 100 yrds bench resting.



i just picked up a box of the hornady 358win I've yet to try out maybe soon.

thanks for asking love my 358win
