I have been looking for a nice early model 36 or 60 for a few months. I walked into a gun shop the other day and saw this model 60 looked at it and saw it had no dash after the 60 (I think it in a 1974 or 75), and it was a pinned barrel, and it was real clean. It was marked $450 so I offered $400. He told me he would do it if I paid cash (which was fine thats how I was planning to pay). He went in the back and came back with the original box. I opened the box and there were all the original papers and cleaning kit. That was a big bonus. Then when he rang me up it came to $400 I asked about the tax and he told me it was a guys that use to work for him, and he was selling it for him, thats why he wanted cash. I love it when you get more then you bargined for and at a cheaper price.
Any way I went and shot it at 25 feet and it is shooting 2" low and 2" to the left. I shot it off bags to make sure I wasnt jerking. It grouped about .75" and that was better then I was hopping for. I shot a 160gr boolit with 3.6gr of bullseye. Do any of you have a good load for these guns? I was going to try a 148gr wadcutter with 2.8 gr bullseye.
Also it recoiled noticably more then my sp101 and that suprised me. But I think it is 7oz lighter and the grips dont take the recoil as good as the sp101. I want to keep it looking old so I was going to look for a Tylet T adapter any oppinions on these?
Thanks, Bardo
