Ok all ya picture lovers here's my M-88 and my new Ruger 3 screw 22lr / 22mag. These are my 1st .308 and my 1st single action. I had thought the M88 was a pre-64 but I was mistaken. It's still nice.

I went to the range today but stupid me left home w/o the .308 ammo. I was rushing to beat sundown. Oh well. The Ruger was pretty darn accurate although I'm still not in love with the feel of a SA in my big hands. The other revolver is a M-27 Smith.

The boxes on the table are bullets I rec'd today from Midway 1,000 9mm 115grn, 500 124grn and 500 .357 158grn

Out of all my Model 88's I like the post-64's better.............Ken

The single action grip design is so different from the double action revolver that it will feel strange until you get used to it.

Nice guns - Fed 150 shoots best in mine.

Sierra 180 grs with 43 grs IMR 4350 is a slow but really accurate load for the M88 in .308W.

Have one one too and love it!

Mike, Very good looking model 88 there. I've had good success with Winchester Supreme 168gr in mine. I think you'll find it as easy to carry as it is to look at. By the way, I too, seem to prefer the checkering of the post '64. I'd like another of either, but do like the impressed basketweave checkering.
