It's a good Monday when...
you pick up 2 guns you've never owned before. Got my first 03A3 today. Should have had one 20 years ago but just never got around to it. Nice clean example. No plans to mod it. Want to get the sights sorted with match quality ammo and then just enjoy it at longer ranges.
The second item is my first Ruger Maximum. It's 7 1/2" and is a clean example of the breed. This one will not stay as is. I've decided to get the one .500 I've not owned yet. This will be a .500 Max. Clements and Bowen don't make them anymore. I don't send guns to Reeder. Linebaugh has a LONG wait and is higher than I want to pay.
I'm going to go with Huntington. It will be similar to this one...Bisley parts, blued, barrel banded sight (but most likely Bowen not the ramped style here), Bowen rear sight and custom grips. Pondering the barrel length and any other options.
