Couple 44 mags

50.7 oz and 60.2oz
I like the looks of those 44mag FR pistols.Nice
Im going to stick to my single shot Contenders for now but I will keep track of these FR pistols
I just went thru this thread from start to finish! I learned many things, but mostly, I need more practice with a wheel gun. I knocked right on the door of 10,000 rounds this year and I still can't shoot for real accuracy. (but I can shoot a lot Faster than i did a year ago!)
Maybe now that it's the off season I'll get back to work on that long range accuracy stuff. I'd love a new FR, but I think right now this indian is holding back the bow!
BCg, I love what you're doing! Keep pushing, keep innovating! Hopefully you'll have this thing about perfect by the time I have the money to order one up. I could always use another accurate revolver!
10,000 rounds? Wow.
Maybe in the last 10 years with all weapons...

I use to shoot that much.....now I just have the time for accuracy..
That's only 200 rounds a week.
A bullseye season is 2160 match rounds/year assuming a mar-oct schedule. Lots of people practice on top of that.
Some of us take more trigger time than others to develop accuracy with a handgun(or other weapons for that matter). I have shot well over 10K rounds per year for the last 2 years(after a long layoff) and am just now getting to be what I would call competent. I have a ways to go before I would call myself accurate.
I will probably never achieve the kind of accuracy so often quoted in this thread (and no I am not referring to 44man). I am going to continue to improve as best I can and with the equipment and resources I have.
If all I had time for was accuracy, I would quit. That is too limiting. I have time for improvement and fun, both of which I accomplish regularly thank you.
I hope you enjoy what you do.
I think your Frankenruger design is great. If I were a handgun hunter, I would definitely consider one. It removes a lot of the inconsistencies introduced into shooting technique by hunting situations.
I get that I just don't shoot that much

Tazman, if you ever make it out my way, and it works at with our schedules we will do some do some shooting at distance, I think you'll be surprised what you can accomplish quickly.

I have a sister in Montana I need to visit in the next several months. I will be coming through Wyoming on Interstate 90 during the drive. It would be nice to spend some time and see what you can do.
I know my skills won't impress anyone at this stage. I have never had the opportunity to shoot a revolver or other handgun, scoped or not, from a rest at any distance beyond about 35 yards. It would definitely be a chance to expand my experience in a good way.
By the way, I am in the process of buying a Blackhawk in 357 and will take possession this coming Saturday. What would you recommend for a scope mount for it?

For several years I played the speed games and prob burnt well over 10k those years.
Now for the most part I focus on smaller targets and farther away.
For the Blackhawk. There are several drill and tap mounts that will work.
I live in Gillette.
I'm not looking at anyone impressing me or me showing what I can do.
I don't mind demonstrating, but what I prefer is to teach you how to get there and let extend your distance and tighten your groups.

I think that would be time well spent for me. I will keep your offer in mind when I make the trip.
Thanks for the offer.
If tracking is accurate, I should have my 6.5" 44 Magnum Redhawk/Franken-Ruger in my hands on Friday.
Christmas season can be crazy with shipping times. My Burris 2-7 LER with BP reticle should be here next week.
Hogue grips should be here right before Christmas.
Like an early Christmas present!
Ernie "The Untactical"
It's Here!
Ernie "The Untactical"
That looks like quite a hand full. BC does nice work.
Thanks! It is lighter than the standard Redhawk with the same barrel length.
Waiting on a scope and some Hogue grips to make there way here now.

Ernie, that is so cool looking. If the 44's measure up to the 357's, you will be the cock of the roost at the gun club.
