Picked up the Blackhawk in .357 and shot a lot of .38spl. and a few .357 rounds today. Glad I got the .357 to go with my Henry Big Boy. Those .357 rounds are STOUT. Does anyone know anything about a 60th anniversary model Ruger Single Six SS convertable with a 6.5 inch barrel by chance? Looks like I...

Thanks for the input guys, due to the price and availibility, its going to be a standard blackhawk SS in 4.6 inch barrel.

Salvo , jackrabbits with a .357 mag , is the any meat left to eat

?

Beaker

Charles , I agree, thats why I am in a quandry, more power out of the long barrel. But 99.5 percent of my shooting with it will be at the range with probably .38 spl. rounds. The short barrel is easier to pack when hiking but out in the backcountry if I needed to defend myself or party from a cat, w...

First the latest news, the blood work from the endocrinologist shows that my thyroid T4 is low and the TSH is high so I have hypothyroidism. They are upping my levothyroxine Rx again. This may explain why I have been feeling sluggish the last month or so. My testosterone level is fine ( with a weekl...

Remember the morning very well. I was stopping by the loca Mc D's to get breakfast and I heard on NPR that what they thought was a small general aviation plane had crashed downtown. I was off work that morning because my house was being treated for termites by Orkin the day before (Monday) and I was...

First the latest MRI report from the neurosurgeon shows no sign of the tumor left in my pituitary gland. The pituitary looks like a streched out deflated beach ball though. Dr. says I am healing well and I dont have to go back in six months but I can wait until next summer to follow up with him and ...

I have a 550-1 too. It is an excellent rifle and very accurate. The stock and metal are in excellent shape. Unfortunantly the bolt has a small chip out of it and I cannot find a replacement bolt for it so I have retired the rifle. I would be willing to sell it to the right individual though who woul...

My condolences too, I too lost my buddy o'pal within the last month Smokey, a tabby simiease mix with beautiful blue eyes. He was a very faithful and affectionite kitty.

What is the beautiful vista one see's when taking in the view from the senic overlook just north east of Dodge City on US 50?

Beaker

A henry big boy in .357. Then maybe a Rugar blackhawk in .357 to go with it. The rugar 1911s look intersting too.

In college one of the experiments I did in Physics was this very thing with the "Blackwood Ballistic Pendulem". But that was over 30 years ago now.

100, dry and windy, just another typical day here in Kansas. Actually cooler today, the last couple of days its been around 105 degrees. NWS just posted a severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00pm for us. Like I was saying just a typical day here in Kansas...

Very sorry to hear, my prayers sent.

Standing outside during a tornado warning is SOP in Kansas too. Or driving around looking for it. One day my Dad called home from work saying he could see a funnel cloud in the sky out east of town. So my Mom and myself jumped in the car to go out to the east side of town to see if we could see it. ...

You should check out the Coleman muesem and outlet store and talk to the guys there if you ever go to Wichita.

I really like my M14 but i did not get that good of a price.

Beaker

I have a Golden boy .22 and an Octogan and Brass 30/30 and love them both although I am having trouble sighting with semi buckhorn sights anymore. I really want a .357 Big Boy too but I just bought a National Match M1A.

If ya want a quality rifle by a Henry, unfortunantly the new Marlins are junk.

God reins and the Son shines.

Savage , I expect most people here on the forum would have no trouble putting all 10 rounds in the white while standing. For me though, I think this is really good and I am proud of this group. I cant wait until I get the M1A zeroed in and shoot it from a sled to check out its precision. :) P.S. esp...

M14.jpg Went to the range on Sunday with my new M14 and shot this group with it using 10 rounds of Federal FMJ 7.62X51mm 149 grain ball ammo. Distance was at 80 yards off the bench on a sandbag using the National Match peep sights. My aim point was about 7 inches higher as I have not yet zeroed in ...

The Henrys are very nice. I love my brass and octagon 30/30.

Beaker

Went out this afternoon to the Outback Range and brought along both my 30 calibers:The 30/30 Henry brass and octagon and the .308 Springfield M1A NM. I started shooting the Henry first and people started gathering around wanting to see the Springfield so I took it out of the case and fired a group o...

Many years ago I was riding my bicycle home from work on a two lane street when a cement truck approached me coming from the opposite direction. As the truck was passing my by in the oppositel lane it managed to blow a tire out on one of the rear wheels facing me! :o Wow, the concussion from the pre...

Welcome Twodot. Are they red and green?

Range Report; My new Springfield M1A NM rifle came in today. I shot 10 rounds of 7.62 x 51mm NATO ball ammo through it to check it out. Does not have near the recoil I though it would have and I am able to sight through the peep sights very well with my less than optimal eyes. The walnut stock is ex...

Thanks to all for thier kind words and prayers concerning my surgery and about my M1A NM. I wonder why no one has tried to talk me out of it?
