The range is on private property so we had it all to ourselves and man does that beat a crowded public range!



Today was the first time out for the Lispey's Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag and the S&W 629 Talo. Also had the 629 Classic and 460XVR for a session of big bore fun. The SBH was way left and low and took some adjustments for windage and elevation to start finding the POI. The Bisley grip was comfortable as advertised but without a plow handle version for comparison I really can't say how different the Bisley feels.

The S&W 629 Talo was accurate right out of the box. Wow - what a nice shooter! Photo below was the very first string from 10 yards, no rest.



The Lipsey's SBH Bisley got dialed in closer and started producing these results at 15 yards:



With some more range time I think I could get similar results out to 20 and 25 yards but not today. The S&W 629 Talo was easier to find success with. There is a metal gong hanging below the target board and I could "ring the bell" with the 629 pretty consistently from 25 yards.

Keep in mind this was an informal fun shoot and not some serious range performance analysis. Ammo was what we had - a mixture of factory and hand loads. I put approx. 150 rounds of 44 Mag through the SBH and 629 and 50 rounds of 460S&W through the S&W 460XVR.



Note the size of the little 44 Mag next to the 460S&W Mag below!



After we put the big bores away we broke out the 22s and had a big time with the little bores.



Single-Six convertible, 1956 Single-Six flatgate, 1946 S&W K-22, Bearcat Shopkeeper and Mark-III. I'm happy to report the little Shopkeeper is functioning properly since coming back from Ruger CS. No jams and ejection of empties was much, much better. We plinked away to our hearts content, punching holes in paper and ringing the bell on the metal gong, swapping guns, telling stories and having a big time.

More range time tomorrow.....

Anyone got a source for the 10 round box mag, preferably metal, that have a good 'rep' for Feed & Fit. Price??

Today the gun shop I've dealt with for years called me they just got in the P-95 both in standard & stainless. Well I looked at both and the difference between the 2 is only 20.00, is the stainless really a big issue? And of course while I was there he showed me the LC-9, That's a small gun just a bit bigger than my LCP. So between the 3 guns there's only 30.00 difference! Question, can all 3 guns use +P ammo? I like the idea of the small LC-9, but I already have a LCP that is so easy to C.C. and I know it lacks the steam of the 9mm. But my thinking is if I have to use the LCP its gonna be close in work...Period! And the 380 should have enough steam to make a mark. What would you recommend I buy of the 3? And is their anything else I should look to get as far as accessories? Thanks for helping me with this one! ]]> Ruger Pistols Sportdog7 http://rugerforum.net/ruger-pistols/80181-ok-p-95-lc-9-a.html http://rugerforum.net/pistols-revolvers/80177-bfr.html Fri, 24 May 2013 22:12:37 GMT Does anyone have one?

Lots of interesting stuff, packed wall-to-wall 15 minutes after doors opened. Plenty of ammo except for .22LR, which was scarce. Cheapest I could find was $75 for a brick of Federal Champion. Others selling for $80 or more; not many takers. 50-round boxes going for 8 to 10 bucks. Other ammo also high-priced but one seller was raking it in. One guy balked, however, for a box of 20 shells for $22. "You must be out of your mind!" he yelled but the seller just shrugged; plenty of other customers waiting.

Took 2 pics of some rare handguns, the big bore gold one made in WI; look the size of the cartridges!, the other a very nice Colt, packaged with ammo, badge, box, etc.

I purchased a convertible 6.5" stainless a few weeks ago. It shoots great, however, there are times when I can't cock the hammer because the transfer bar contacts the firing pin. The transfer bar also seems to have a lot of play. It was happening to me today so I gave it a shot of oil. That seemed to fix it but is this something that Ruger should take care of?

I cut out early today though and headed over to a range for some quality time with my 3" SP. She felt very nice firing 38 Specials with her new Houge Monogrip. Took my time and only shot 100 rounds. Put 100 holes in the 8" target.

It felt good firing live again. Can't wait for my next trip.

I posted last week that I found a SS 4 inch Service Six for $400. I finally found time to go back today and they made me a deal I couldn't pass up. The guy said the gun had been there for awhile and I was able to pick it up for $350 OTD! I'm stoked right now. I'll post pictures a little later when I get a chance.

I was going thru the warehouse looking at what's there and I decided it is time for us to start a "Deal of the Day". This, of course, is assuming I find the time each day to do this, lol. We buy lots of demos, close-outs and assorted deals and sometimes we buy demos from a few different shows and wind up with enough to offer crazy cheap deal on something awesome.



Todays deal is on a great combo:
Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 LR FFP XLR Riflscope, #VHS-4313-LR with a Vortex Nomad 20-60x60 Spotting Scope in your choice of Straight or Angled for only $899.99



Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 LR FFP XLR Riflscope, #VHS-4313-LR

Want to extend your effective shooting range at distances where bullet drop and wind drift become critical? Take a look at the Viper HS LR riflescope. The LR stands for long range — and we mean it. This riflescope features an exposed target-style elevation turret built for dialing elevation at extended ranges. The capped windage turret maintains the scope’s sleek lines and prevent it from hanging up on clothing, rifle cases or pack scabbards.

Viper HS LR riflescopes feature an advanced optical system highlighted with a 4x zoom range for magnification versatility. A forgiving eye box with increased eye relief gets shooters on target quickly and easily. Built on an ultra-strong 30mm one-piece machined aluminum tube for increased windage and elevation travel and optimal adjustment.

NOTE: The Viper HS LR riflescopes feature a first focal plane reticle: all reticle subtensions remain constant throughout the entire zoom range for accurate use of reticle reference marks at any magnification.

Optical Features
First Focal Plane - Subtensions remain consistent throughout magnification range.
XD Lens Elements - Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images.
XR Lens Coatings - Vortex proprietary XR fully multi-coated lens coatings increase light transmission for maximum brightness.

Construction Features
30 mm Tube - Provides greater strength and wider adjustment lattitude.
One-Piece Tube - Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and waterproofness.
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum - Construction from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum delivers increased strength and rigidity.
Waterproof - o-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube for reliable performance in all environments.
Fogproof - Filled with argon gas to inhibit internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
Shockproof - Lenses are locked in place, fore and aft, with machined locking rings to remain in perfect alignment and withstand recoil and impact.
Hard Anodized Finish - Hard-coat anodization is durable; the low-glare matte helps camouflage the shooter’s position.
ArmorTek - Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.

Convenience Features
CRS Zero Stop - Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) prevents dialing more than one rotation below your zero so you don't lose the zero when dialing large amounts of elevation corrections. Patent pending.
Exposed Elevation Turret - Open type elevation turret with 1/2 MOA clicks and 24 MOA per turn allows rapid, accurate dialing of hold over corrections when desired.
MAG-View - Combines a fiber optics magnification indicator with raised rear-facing magnification references for clear viewing in low light conditions. Patent 7,937,879
Fast Focus Eyepiece - Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.
Side Parallax - Uses an adjustment mechanism on the left side of the riflescope to fine-tune focus for the purpose of reducing parallax shooting error.
