an update on my Bounty Hunter saga... I shot it on my range today to check fuction and accuracy... well... all chambers went bang... good indent on primers... recoil was mild including the 158gr 1500fps loads... accuracy was ... well... my old age is showing... it imprinted close enough for what I can do without a rest at 10 yards and no shooting glasses, so the sights were fuzzy as hell... the pic shows the "grouping" with 110gr 38 sp loads... I tried to keep the fuzzy sights near the center of the orange circle... and the other pic shows what my gun looks like at the present time, the third pic is Jim Taylor's old Ruger "everywhere gun"... notice what I was going after?... grip/trigger guard denuded and ejector rod denuded... notice the pitting on mine?... yes... it's a well "used" gun and it will live the life of one here on the farm... cheap enough to not worry over dings and blemishes yet to come... functions well enough at "farm" ranges to be useful... loaded now with two rounds of #4 shotshells, two rounds of 110gr. .38sp, two rounds of 158gr .357mag "hot loads" ... the .357mags are the ones from Aquila... advertised as 158gr SJSP at 1540fps. ... welcome to the farm my new hip rider.
