Nice looking carbine at a good price! Nothing but good about that. Yes, the chrome is not ideal, but it's not that bad either. If it shoots well, it got a good deal. Maybe $500 is high some places, but not around here--it's a deal!

I agree with DRAIL, all early model Ruger Bisleys had fluted cylinders. I'm not sure about the barrel lengths available. Mine is, indeed, 7 1/2". I have to say that the fluting on the cylinder I have is less than perfect. I've never seen that on a Ruger before.

Yes, I most often carry a 3" Ruger SP101 .327 Fed. mag. It conceals well enough for me. Plus, I'll admit I like the way it looks. The fact that I shoot it pretty well doesn't hurt either.

I voted for the 5.5 barrel. I think it would be a good compromise for general purposes. I have the 3 inch SP101 in .327 Fed. Mag. It's a nice firearm, but it does have quite a fireball and a healthy blast when fired with full power loads.

If you like, you can check out the bird's head grip frame on MidWay's website. One of the reviewers tells of using it to convert his .32 H&R Magnum Single Six to a bird's head grip frame from a standard grip frame. It worked seamlessly for him, or so he says.

You do know you can purchase the bird's head grip and put it on any single six? I don't know if it comes in stainless or carbon steel, but it may be available in both. It might be worth thinking about.

That's a good idea--buy a barreled action! It used to be easy to buy a nice barreled action, but it's not so easy now. In the early 80's I bought a CZ 30-06 barreled action and put it in a Fajen walnut stock. I still think it's beautiful! I don't own any rifles with synthetic stocks...

I believe the op is referring to the barrel to receiver fit. In any case, I've never had to deal with a pressed and pinned barrel myself, but I've thought that there would be little difference in head spacing procedure between the two. I think we need input from someone familiar with rifle...

You're right, I don't see it on Ruger's website. They do list an American All Weather, so maybe that's the replacement, although that's hardly the same thing. Ruger takes products out of their line-up and then returns them later on. We can hope that will be true in this case.

I would go for the longer barrel. Maybe the woods in Tennessee aren't that dense, but I've never had any problem with longer barrels in the woods around here. I'm in middle Tennessee, though, so maybe it's different elsewhere.

I prefer the Blackhawk because I like adjustable sights. Do I take advantage of the adjustability? Not very often, but I like knowing that I can. Too, I sometimes load to the high end. My caliber of preference is .41 magnum, and I even changed out the aluminum grip frame for a stainless...

If you have access to a pair of dial calipers or better yet digital calipers, it should be easy to measure the OD of the magazine tube. I agree it would be helpful if they listed what various rifle tube OD's were, but it's possible that the OD varies by year of manufacture. Good luck!

I would definitely opt for the .308. Besides the fact that you already have a .223, I think you'll have better luck at long range with the .308.

I really like Hoppe's Elite copper solvent. It's a little thicker, almost gel-like, so it stays in place more easily. I have to say I've not had much problem with copper fouling in my revolvers. Is that normal?

Hmm. . .not only is the rifle accurate, but your shooting is not too shabby either. I may need to rethink my feelings about take-down rifles.

I like all the Ruger Security Six types, and I surely do wish they were easier to come by these days. Too bad Ruger didn't feel the same way.

I would prefer the Security Six over the GP100, mostly because it is a little bit lighter. It's still plenty strong enough for .357 use. I have a 4" Security Six and a 6" GP100. I like them both, but I prefer the Security Six.

I believe they still offer a .44 magnum barrel as well, but that's about it. You might have some luck on the used market, but it could take a while. Good luck!

I have a Taurus Tracker 4" .22/.22 magnum. Both cylinders function perfectly, both are very accurate. Yes, it does have a heavy trigger, but I knew that when I bought it. I did buy it new, and I'm very happy with it. The only other Taurus I own is an older Model 65 .357, and it's fine, too...

I guess I'm easy--I like them all! I have everything from a Black Diamond Nylon 66 .22 to a fine, walnut stocked custom 30-06. I also have Hogue over-molded stocks and laminated stocked stainless rifles. Still, I mostly have blued steel and walnut.
