A little while ago I came to be the proud owner of a Martini Cadet rechambered to .357 Magnum a long time ago when she came to the States from Australiaicon. I paid the exorbitant sum of $75.00 for her.

Massive exterior pitting over almost 15% of the barrel and action case due to a botched re-bluing job decades ago hasn't damaged the bore, chamber or action. She shoots beautifully and has a smooth crisp trigger. My wife is a retired, disabled veteran with shoulder and back issues. My Rook Rifle, even with a semi-hot handload, recoils about the same as a .22 Long Rifle.

I've been looking at a local guy with an action and barrel in the original .310 Greener, total for both about $350.00, and in near perfect condition to boot, non matching serials, but is it a good enough deal for me to get? I'd have to buy or manufacture the wood for her, but the wife is a great carpentress. With the lighter load of the .310 I'm thinking it would be best for the wife.
