Thinking about a .357 never had one. I dont know a whole lot about ataman but they seem decent? It would only be for hunting. Are they worth 1500$ ? The stock is the only thing that gets me seems kinda cheap.

Ataman Ataman .357 m2r any good?
- Thread starter vmaxpro
- Start date
I just bought one, it is "in the mail". I made my decision by reading the reviews and watching the you tube videos. It is very accurate and has a wonderful reputation. The workmanship is very good. Some issues are $110 mags., the charge lever next to your nose, and a stock without a mount for a bipod. I should have it in a couple of days (or right now, there is a big box at my door!) and I'll re-post with pix here so we can see what it's like up close and personal...

I've owned one for a few years. Smooth cocking and as accurate as any other rifle. I would watch Rich Euster's video, as I had the same issue with magazine not advancing, but was fixed by a drop of locktite. Did the bullpup and rifle once and no issues since.

Looks like PA has quite a few parts for them. I still like the impact .35 but I kinda just want a plain and simple hunting rifle if that makes sense.

Not sure if you’re looking at the carbine or bullpup. It’s a real nice gun, including the stock, excellent craftsmanship and materials. It’s loud, Ronin solved that problem. Mounted a sling stud and a pic adapter for bipod. I’ve got a few hundred pellets through mine without a hiccup. I’ve owned and shot a lot of different guns and the Atamans are right up there with some of the best in my opinion.

I have the bullpup in 357. It is a great gun. It is loud so plan on getting a DonnyFL for it. The only weak point with these guns is the magazines. They will not fit the Predators and they will not hold any of the slugs very well, if at all. And it just so happens mine loves the Predators and doesnt like the JSB very much. So I am stuck single loading them. But it will stack Predator on top of Predator at 50 yards.

Well, I was correct! That was my Ataman at the door!!
Here it is with a Donny Emperor on the front. It is a heavy gun indeed, but very beautiful and excellently made! I will put a bipod on the front attached to the air tube with a Saber Tactical Universal Tube Clamp, 34mm. The bolt pellet driver is is thin, but very hard. Trigger is excellent, but not 2 stage. I have to wait for the tank to arrive before I can shoot it. Yes, it is Cal. 357,,, I am pleased, even though I waited 2 1/2 months for it from PA. The scope is a Hawke Sport Optics 6-24x50 AO Airmax 30 SF and fits well with the rifle.The Mag doesn't accept slugs, so they will have to be hand loaded. The cocking lever is as smooth as they say and yes, it will take some getting used to reaching under my chin.
All in all, I am well pleased with the rifle and PA!

Used to own a bullpup in .22
They are make well, shoot well.
I will say, the triggers are mush…No indication of when it will go off, no second stage, just mush.

I have a couple, and they are nice rifles. The trigger, like most training rifles from the area, feels like a progress full auto trigger.
They are heavy but well-balanced and extremely quiet, with a silencer, surprisingly so with the .35!
I've not experienced any leaks or problems with any of my Atamans.

Had the carbine .357 version and it was a great rifle. Very smooth cocking and very accurate. I would have kept it if it was a .30 as I decided to go smaller. Try to find a used one that's been well taken care of.
