    ruger 2 1/2" Kodiak backpacker

    As a owner of both the 4.2 and 2.75 inch Redhawk, the round butt 2.75 is easier to pack and carry. The SRH Alaskan is big and does not seem to carry as well. I preferred the 2.75 inch standard Redhawk. They weigh about the same. I always preferred the RH frame to the SRH anyway. I live in...

    Let me hear your Sako experiences.

    I recently bought a Tika T3 Lite in 7mm Rem Mag on a whim. I got it NIB for $450 IIRC. I had an old box of 150 grain Rem Corelokt. That ammo shot .5 MOA! I was shocked. The trigger was very nice for a $450 rifle that adjusted very easy. I have some nice custom Rem 700s. I am going to...

    4 5/8 Super Blackhawk too short?

    CraigC, thanks for the information. 1911Tuner, I never thought to call Ruger direct and ask for one. I will call and see what they say.

    4 5/8 Super Blackhawk too short?

    I wish Ruger would introduce a 4 5/8 inch barrel SBH in a Bisley frame. I do NOT like plow handles with heavy .44 Mag loads. I have shot many friends SBH in plow handle and I could never get comfortable with them. I have XXL to XXXL hands. In a single action, the 4 5/8 is hard to beat...

    Scored a Ruger SB Bisley Hunter

    Nice find! I have that exact revolver. The factory grips are terrible! You will definitely want to invest in good after market grips. Mine is a fantastic shooter. Scary accurate. I put a Leupold 2X scope on mine. .44 Mag is the handloaders dream round. It can be loaded from 180 to...

    Rifle choices: 44 Mag. or 45-70 Govt.?

    IMHO, the .44 Mag carbine is more than adequate for coyote, groundhogs and deer. How much horsepower is really needed to kill small to moderate sized game? Dead is dead. But, having a .45-70 is way cool. I have the Henry all steel .44 mag and the all steel .45-70. I just acquired the...

    Which M1A Should I get?

    Why can't you get a SuperMatch.? I have had one for almost 15 years and have never had a single issue with it. The SM is very accurate, but also heavy. For strictly target shooting, go with the best you can afford, period. They are lifetime investment type rifles. I know many bash the...

    300 Win Mag or ?

    The 300 WM is a great cartridge. It will each 1,000 yards with ease. Heck, a properly loaded 308 Win will reach a thousand yards. A 300 WM makes things easier with wind. Yet, if you want a common cartridge where brass is easy to locate, the 300 WM is hard to beat for it's simplicity. I like the...

    Ruger's Customer Service has won a customer for life...........

    Ruger CS has always been top notch.. I had to send two guns back to Ruger. They fixed them both within two weeks and arrived at my local FFL. A few years ago, my friend put a double charge of Unique in his .357 Mag GP-100 and blew it apart. He thought he was using 2400! Ruger replaced it no...

    New Ruger Redhawk

    I have the 2.75 inch .44 Mag version with the round-butt grip. The round grip is easier to carry than the standard square grip frame. I like the Talo round-butt RedHawk more than the SRH Alaskan. I like the checkering on the new 45 Colt grips though.. I love RedHawks. They are my favorite...

    300 Win Mag Hunting Rifle Questions

    I bought the Remington 700 in 300 Win Mag. The trigger was set at a little over 6 lbs! The stock was total garbage. I replaced the stock with a Bell and Carlson. I had to turn both trigger screws all the way to get it just over 3 lbs. The Tikka has a better trigger. The Tikka T3 Lite is...

    Brass Shavings From Reloading w/Dillon 650

    Too much bell or not enough can cause that. It is kind of disheartening. You need to fiiddle with them and get them dialed in. It will eventually stop once ur dies are dialed in. What dies are you using.? http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=598528

    barrel length vs velocity vs convenience

    The .44 Magnum can be loaded with mild specials to elephant stoppers. The .44 Mag has been used in a Redhawk to stop elephants (7.5 inch barrel). It will do anything you need it to within handgun range (bow range). It can be carried, concealed, hunted with, plinking etc. Many will say "my...

    barrel length vs velocity vs convenience

    As the owner of both the 2.75 & 4.2 inch, it depends. Here is why. The 4.2 is just a great all around revolver. If I could only have one gun, it would be my 4.2 inch Redhawk. IMO, the most versatile gun ever made. Concealed carry and the 4.2 is hard to do. I am a large man making it easier...

    Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag

    The SRH is the John Deere tractors of .44 Mag. I have two standard RedHawks and a SRH in 454 Casull. You cannot go wrong with either you listed. I bought a Super BlackHawk Hunter in .44 Mag. I was amazed how much more accurate it became with a 2X Leupold on it. I tried a Leupold 4X and sold...

    500 S&W and scope

    CraigC, do you think the UltraDot line of scopes will hold up to a 454 Casull? My SRH 454 is a hard hitting revolver, A LOT worse than my 460 Mag XVR. In fact, I downloaded it with reduced 2400 loads to make it more shoot able.
