    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I saw that Magnum Research is making a BFR in 500 Linebaugh now. I might need one.
