My last Ruger (and I mean LAST) was an SR-22. Shoots patterns, not groups, and it fails to feed so often I can't stand to shoot it. There was a rumor the fail to feed problem was caused by magazine...

Why not go whole-hog, buy a S&W 44 magnum round butt three inch barrel... :bigsmyl2:

I put mine together way too long ago to remember the bases but, I use a Leupold 1-4, 20 MM great combination. Beware of scope tattoo.

Unless you're planning to close your eyes, cringe and pray every time you pull the trigger, PULL the bullets and chalk it up to experience. .02

It "looks" like it might be a rifle-grenade adapter/sight. What rifle it might be designed for, I have no idea.

I have one branded "Sears Robuck & Co" (sp?) that has a full length magazine tube and it's not D/T for any kind of scope mount. It lives in the back of my "antique" safe with some other old bullet...

Did you catch the EOD part of EOD3? If I build a booby-trap, LOTS of people will know about it.

Nice gun. I have an S&W that's a hoot to shoot. I've got 3 loads for it that work very well. The first is a LaserCast 115 grain FP over 7.7 grains of AA9 with a mag. primer. The next is a Hornady...
The cylinder isn't the only thing about a revolver that determines its strength. The one-piece frame of the Ruger will stand up to more abuse than the Smith. Having said that, either gun will...

Do you know the future value of either rifle?

Many, many years ago, I was an MP (ARMY) when people started calling it "joy riding". It sounds SO MUCH better than Grand Theft Auto. :cool:

I know it sounds ridiculous (to me anyway) but it's illegal for honest people to leave a trap for the scum.

For a dear/black bear at 125 yards you don't need much velocity to get the job done. Work up a good accuracy load in the 14-16 hundred feet per second and go for the gold. A lung shot on a deer...

I used to do bomb disposal, and I still have all my fingers so you can call me cautious :2 drunk buddies: or reckless depending on your point of view.
I would give them a good going over or have...

I've got the same problem but luckily, I have grandkids from 17 to just out of diapers. We've got a boat-load of old westerns, Christmas movies, and just about every Disney movie ever produced.

On the off chance you don't know what the "uf" stands for it's Micro Farad (normally pronounced "micro puff").
Replacing it shouldn't be a big problem but ***WARNING*** installing it backwards...

About a million years ago I was stationed at Fort Ord (49th Ordnance Detachment (EOD)). We occasionally responded to incidents in Carmel. EVERYONE fought for the missions because the Carmel PD had...

Thanks missionary, exactly what I needed to know.

You're correct JHeath, I'm considering buying one of the new rifles BUT, I'm not even slightly interested in a "do-over" of the problems I have/had with my only other 38-55. Some of the guys here...

I have one of the 77/44 rifles and like it a lot. It's short and light BUT, it doesn't like to cycle Semi-wadcutter bullets. YMMV
Forum: Leverguns
Does anyone have first hand experience with this rifle and possibly loading for it.
I'm specifically interested in the "real" bore diameter.
