Jimbo501,
I used the Weigand setup with only 2 rings on one, and the others I used the Leupold rings and mount. My buddy went with the Weigand 3 ring setup on his 500 Mag.
I did a lot of work on loads in my S&W 460 Mag's. I was consistently hitting a 4 inch clay target at 150 yards with a 240 and 260 gr. bullet. I was getting 1 inch groups at 100 yards with the same load of the bench on a good rest, using a Leupold 2.5X8 power scope.
The gun is very accurate...
I know a few guys that use 454 Casull's in their S&W 460 Mag and love it. The reason I got into the S&W 460 Mag was due to the long range shooting with handguns I was doing. Use what ever you want in your S&W 460 Mag, my statement was because I bought my S&W 460 Mag to shoot the S&W 460 Mag. I...
By far the Judge is not worthless. When using the gun as it was intended for, it works great. I own one and love the gun. With the 45 Colts, I get very good accuracy at 25 yards. But used in close quarters, I bet you would not want that gun pointing at you with any load including bird shot...
Forget shooting the 454 Casull's and 45 Colts in your S&W 460 Mag, you don't buy a S&W 460 Mag to shoot light loads.
I never understood why anyone wants to do that. The only reason you buy a big gun is to shoot big loads.
Leupold VX3 2.5-8X32 would be my choice, but if you don't want to spend that much money, the Bushnell 2X6X32 will work just as well. I had one on my S&W 460 Mag, then it went on my 500 Mag and it is still holding up.
Really good information on 9MM revolvers. I happen to own a new in box S&W model 547 3HB made in 1985. I have not shot it and don't know if I want to. Collectors value is up there in the $1000 range. There were only 6486 round butt made in the 3 inch barrel and 3784 square butt made with a 4...
S&W 460 Mag Recall. You can check the gun and see if the serial number is on the list, you can also check on the gun and see the punch mark, that indicates it has been done...
I have shot the 500 Mag from the day they were released. I have had 7 of the 500 Mags. I have shot from 4 inch barrel length to 10 inch barrel length. I sold 5 of my 500 Mags to buddies and kept 2 of them. I have a 4 inch S&W with a end cap and no compensator. I also have my custom 6 inch BFR...
I own just as many double actions as I do single actions. I shoot them both well. When hunting, I like to use single action, even on a double action gun.
Come on, I have a 4 inch 500 Mag that does not recoil like that, the guy shooting that is a weak shooter. Why not quit while no one is listening to you or buying into your B. S. rants.
I have been shooting my non-ported 4 inch 500 Mag for 5 years now, and my BFR in 500 Mag for 6 years. I would never pass up a chance to shoot one... I have over 6000 rounds fired in all of my 500 Mags, and my wrists are just fine..
