Eight rounds of .357 Magnum is a lot of firepower in one cylinder, and that is what the Taurus 608 offers. It is a big revolver with a 6.5-inch barrel, built for the range, the hunting woods, and long-distance plinking. The long barrel gives you a long sight radius, and the weight takes the sting out of magnum loads.

This used revolver comes with a soft case, so it is ready to transport. The 608 is not a pocket gun, but it is a pleasant one to shoot. Mild .38 Special loads feel almost gentle in it, and full magnum rounds are controllable. If you hunt with a handgun, the extra barrel length adds velocity.

Check an eight-shot cylinder carefully. With more chambers, there are more places for wear, so look at the cylinder face and the gap between the cylinder and forcing cone. Cock the hammer and make sure the cylinder locks up on each chamber. A good light down the barrel will show whether the rifling is clean.

Pair it with a quality holster or a range bag and some practice time. The revolver is sold as described, in used condition, and ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
