I just cannot seem to see any way around it. I tried to cure the craving for big bore hunting gun with a CVA single shot, but it just did not work out for me. I had originally looked at the Blackhawk hunter but did not have the funds to buy it. So after my try with the rifle, I decided to just wait for the funds to come in for the Ruger. I think I will be set to go sometime in the middle of next week.
I've been doing a lot of looking, seeing what kind of experience people have had with theirs, but nothing is too recent really. So I wanted to get a feel for what others think of their hunter models. Still like them, or wish you would have gone for something else?
I'll be getting a Burris 2x20 to top it with. I have the Lee 240 SWC, the Lee 310, and the Lyman 429640 HP(but may also have a pin that will allow me to cast flat points - that's another story). I am hoping the 429640 will be the ticket.
I'll be buying a newer model(I assume they will not have any of the older stock), which in my research should mean that the throats should be pretty uniform. I am somewhat concerned I might have to deal with the dreaded barrel thread constriction. I had to deal with that on a 45 colt Blackhawk I got a while back.
Thought I might see how people are liking theirs after having it for a while. I am getting it specifically to hunt with. I want to be able to reach out to the 100-yard mark hense the scope.
