My newest huntin' rig....

Post by stew71 »

...gets released from jail this Friday.....WHOHOO!!!

Image

Probably going to mount a 2x Burris or Nikon scope on it and carry it in a Galco Kodiak rig for chasing these blacktail deer through the high timber of our local Sierra Nevada range. I'll mount a 'Y' bracket to the top of an old ski pole to use as a shooting stick/hiking pole.

Can't wait. Nuthin' like .44 Mag Ruger single action love. Carried one like this while scouting caribou in Alaska a few years ago and swore I'd own one.

Now I am jealous!

I have always wanted to hunt with a wheel gun.
For my small gaming 22, WMR, 32/20 would be fine.

Oh yeah! Excellent choice. You aren't in the protected buzzard area, are you? :cry:

I love mine, it shoots everything I've put through it well except mag tech 240 sjsp. I'll either take the hunter 44 mag or the Python turkey hunting this sat. About a dozen turkeys on my place this year and every year. 8) .
My ruger will hit a paper plate regularly at 100 yds off sandbags. No grouping at that distance, just hits.
The Python has accounted for several turkeys so far, the ruger not yet.

I have both the Plow griped Hunter and the Bisley griped Hunters in .44 mag. They are great shooters.

My first centerfire handgun was a Ruger Super Blackhawk, so I've always loved their 44 Mags - now I have a Bisley gripped one, and really need to take it out for whitetail this year, so it feels needed... :wink:

Not yet. But come 2019, no lead bullets or shot will be allowed in California for hunting purposes. :roll:

Finally got around to uploading a pic of the new lead slinger...

As soon as funding allows, I'll pick up a 2x scope and a Galco Kodiak Hunting rig for it. Hopefully, I can find some time to get to the range this week.

Nice! I have a 2x Leupold on my SBH and it has served me well for 20 years or so. I also have a Simmons Prohunter 4x pistol scope that is holding up to my 7mm-08 Lone eagle. Cheap scope but if it takes the recoil form the LE a 44 mag SBH should be no problem.
