Anyone have an Ataman in .357? Thinking about getting one but I don't know anyone who has experience with one of their .357 rifles.. Looking just for info on 357's.
Ataman 357.. yeah?

I watched that video when it came out. Was hoping someone on this forum had experience with one recently.

@MACTEN, I have the M2R bullpup in .357, this thing is a beast, just a gorgeous gun, excellent craftsmanship, accurate at 50 yds. I’ve only shot 81 gr JSBs and Polymags, seems to group a little better with the Polymags. Nice trigger, single stage, kinda weird at first, I like it now. Nice magazines too, work flawlessly, cocking is smooth too. I’m actually thinking about selling to fund something else, tough decision to make though as I really like this gun and would like to keep a .35 in the stable.

Ya I agree with you on the single stage triggers, they are weird at first til you get used to them

@joekrooz Looks like your range is a scene right of a colorized Wizard of Oz. Beautiful rifle..

Well I have a refurbished one coming now.. Been looking at these for some time and guess I'll just do it.

The only complaint I have with it is the magazine. The way it is designed it will not hold slugs, they just fall out. If you want a repeater all you can use is the JSB pellets. But pitbull Airguns makes a single shot tray for it.

@Joekrooz I've still got some slugs and jsb's I can put through it to see how it compares to past 357's I've had.

Ataman was supposed to be here today (stayed home for signature) but I didn't count on it because. Fedex. Pandemic aside, I have had so many packages over the years delayed and a few lost with that company. Oh well. It will get here when it does. Lost a days pay though.

Got the Ataman .357 today. Nice rifle! Specs everywhere are wrong for barrel length at 20.47" My barrel is 25 3/8" even though overall length advertised is correct at 43.31" I looked on the Ataman.ru website and they have this .357 M2R.. rifle as well as the .30 version listed at 650mm, which is 25.59" So apparently everyone over here lists the .177, .22 and .25 520 mm (20.47") length for all of these M2R rifles. Either way, I look forward to testing it out. Thanks to those who guided me!

That is a nice looking rifle with a lot of air space. You can't go wrong with the longer barrel for more power and accuracy. The magazine well looks pretty big too. Let us know what size slugs you are able to get into the magazine and the other pertinent information as far as speed and accuracy goes.
