I picked up a new s&w model 69 recently. I kind of avoid new s&w products because of the lock and reports of fit/finish. Must say I love this revolver. .44 mag in an L-frame...literally something I have been dreaming about for years. Not as well finished as some of the older s&w revolvers...but pretty darn good for a new gun that retails around $700. Only downside is the 4.25" barrel won't fit in many holsters, so I have to use a 5" Hunter brand. Sights are traditional red front and white outlined black rear adjustable.
Shoots great, and is very controllable even in .44 mag. .44spl shoots great as well of course, and is easy on the hand. I sent some 300gr WFN boolits down range (upper end of .44 mag, well below Ruger only loads), but most of what I have shot have been target variety wc/swc at .44spl velocity in the 230-250 grain range. The 69 is more accurate than I am. Used it to trim a bunch of small maple trees that have popped up all over the property.
Overall I am very happy with the new gun. I have over 700 round down range without a hitch. Double action trigger isn't great, but is getting better every round. Single action I am clipping 1-1.5" maple saplings pretty consistently at 10-20 yards fairly consistently. Can't wait until I actually start casting/loading for it specifically...everything I've shot through it so far I'd loaded for other .44's.

The Ruger American Precision rifle is on sale in Australia at last but only in 6.5Creedmore at v this stage. If the 308s were available I'd be short some dollars!

Redhawk 45colt/45acp that needed fitting and went back to the factory the day after I recieved it; got it back 8 days later. Shoots good.
I'm old fashioned and am always looking for "new" Mausers. My last rifle was a JC Higgins Model 50 FN Mauser in 30-06.
