Oh boy that is Nice! You must have been an extra good boy this year. All joking aside, that is one of the nicest revolvers that I have seen.

[lefty o]

heck of a lump of coal! LOL

[osteodoc08]

That is absolutely gorgeous. Gift from Mrs. Claus? Please tell us more about it and what you plan to shoot out of it? My hats off. My 480 Ruger is about all I care to handle in a packable wheelgun.

You’re a lucky guy. I wish I had found one of those under my tree. I guess I wasn’t good enough this year.

The Octogon barrel is a nice look. Congrats

[wildcatter]

Perfect in every way from the type and length barrel to the caliber and grips! I think you got my gun,, I hope you enjoy it, That is a keeper!

Thanks fer the Eye Candy!!

I only had a few starter loads done up,so I haven't shot it alot yet. They're 420gn from Hunter's Supply with 18 gns of Blue Dot. I haven't chronoed them yet, I just got it sighted in and headed to deer camp for the last two days. I'm going hog hunting in the middle of January and will be packing it then.
Oh, and it has the Bowen rough country rear sight. Not sure if it came through in the pics or not.

Man, well done Mr. Clause! That's one seriously nice revolver. Should do well on your hog hunt. Congratulations!

i have 500L in tc encore with a 24" MGM barrel. i use a 450gr lfn gc with 16.5gr of hs-6. it goes 1237fps(avg of 5 shots on a chrony). i should do AL2400 but it shoots hs-6 sooooo sweet!!!!!

[Loudenboomer]

[boatswainsmate]

My single action dream come true! Super Nice nice tool made by a master!:awesome:

SWEET!! Linebaugh Linebaugh! I have blue 500L octagon done by John Gallagher. 450gr over 15-16gr HS-6 is an easy fun load. I killed a moose with the same boolit at 1300fps over a case full of LilGun. Enjoy!

[Lloyd Smale]

bet you had to have a bit of patients. John is pretty backed up from what I hear.
