Venturino is a writer and they get paid to write. What they write doesn't have to be accurate. If it did there would be tons of writers out work. Chill out and enjoy your 44 whatever despite what Mike wrote. I have only three so no authority on the subject and have about run out of shooters I...
My LGS will mount and bore sight a scope for 5 bucks. Buy the scope from him or a regular customer he does not charge. Most of the time it depends on your attitude if you pay or not if a newbie.
I feel left out of the question. :D
My very favorite is a 3 screw BlackHawk but it has an aluminum grip frame so doesn't fit the criteria. I have a Smith model 19 that is all steel but it ain't my favorite. All things considered it's a great gun but not as likable as the Ruger is to me.
I mounted my first scope when I was 14 years old and every one since. No special tools used except for a line up bar to check the rings with. Some have needed some lapping, others haven't. It is a really a simple job compared to a lot of others.
Set a 50-140-550 beside those and it will make both look a little puny. Many years ago I bought a re-pro rolling block in that caliber just because I wanted it. I had no intention of hunting anything with it and never have. Several years ago I down sized it to 50-70 after having my right...
I can always find room for another old 22, handgun or rifle.
Some where in the '70-'71'year range I sporterized a Krag for a friend. It was mostly just replacing the stock and I put a nice finish on it. We went to a caliche pit that had some big boulders around the top for him to shoot it. He...
I watched and liked the "Wanted Dead Or Alive" TV show and the mare's leg struck me as gimmick from the get-go. Let's just say I was a Steve McOueen fan, no matter the type of role he was playing. Who would put up with carrying such a heavy and clunky thing? An actor is who trying to attract...
I was around when the show originally aired. For some reason I didn't care for Hugh O'Brian in any part I ever saw him play so I didn't watch that show. I agree that firearms discipline has changed greatly from that era.
Hmm, just found out I'm a twit in post #44. I shoot only at my gunclub range about 98 % of the time now and only load five in any handgun to keep the rows in the cartridge boxes even. I suppose that doing that with semi-autos make me a double twit. I don't give one hoot what anyone thinks about...
A long as you are OK with a thumb hole stock Haus Of Arms has a wide selection. I have the walnut version and really like it. It's perfect for a scope IMO. Strange thing is I have an Encore and the standard factory stock works great with a scope. SSK did Marty kind of dirty with the Contender...
Mine is arthritis. I have something like 50% of normal movement in my right elbow and a little more in the left. You DO NOT want to do anything that causes more flex. After getting your breath back you will use it up saying bad words for awhile.
Ruger stated that it couldn't/can't be overloaded using black powder and I have tested that with 4f and round balls. Lot's of white smoke and cracks instead of booms. I wouldn't ever consider loading it with smokeless powder even in cartridges. I bought mine because it was supposed to be the top...
I bought one of the early Savage MK II rifles that came with the then new accu-trigger. It has the long receiver with the recoil lug. After trying one Boyd stock that I didn't care for the way it felt and even after 2 modification still didn't I built my own stock from scratch. Epoxy bedding...
The first thing I noticed was the Dr. Pepper. 😃 I can't see a trigger on the revolver but maybe those old timee eye-tilian cowboys slip hammered their guns. It was a cheesey movie so why should the guns differ from everything else. :rofl:
