I remember an article by John Taffin about the Freedom Arms, 353 I believe, when they brought out a 22 on the wonderful single action of theirs. He waxed on about how accurate it was and I totally believe him. I lusted after one. I took my 70s Super Single Six out with a pile of different ammo, from bulk crap to Eley Club and others. I was, before glasses, a pretty good iron sights shooter. My single six just about duplicated the results John got with his Freedom Arms. I got carried away, bought a scope mount and a 2X scope and continued to amaze myself by routinely hitting sawn off bowling pin heads at 75 and even 100 yards on calm days. I've had probably a dozen over the years but this one has a forever home, at least until I go to mine. Almost all have been good, even great and I use this one quite often. I like bigger bores but nothing beats an afternoon down at the farm shooting cans, silhouettes, sparrows, a coon or two, and maybe even a muskrat. Can't damage these things with normal use. BTW, it is back to iron sights as the scope just doesn't mate up well with hip carry for me.
Bill Ruger did it right with a relatively massive frame, cylinder, barrel (for a 22) along with coil springs, adjustable sights (after a few years) back in '53. Colt tried to compete briefly in the 70s with the New Frontier and Peacemaker 22s but I've had one of each and neither hold a candle to the Ruger for accuracy or, I fear, durability.
My next range trip, in fact, is to side-by-side my Single Six, my New Frontier, an original Scout,and my wife's new Wrangler. (I think I know which will win the accuracy test)
