When the son of a good friend of mine put a few of his guns up for sale a while back (he moved perm to New Zealand) I jumped on the opportunity to pick a couple up. They were by no means 'great deals'. I was more focused on acquiring them because of their exceptionally good shape than I was about the cost. I paid the asking price on both of them because they were worth it to me and I wasn't looking to get ahead at a friends son's expense.
Since H&R was just represented above with a fine specimen I thought I'd show this H&R Sportsman I purchased off the son. Although the cylinder has been turned I don't believe it has ever been shot.

The Monson manufactured Dan Wesson was purchased as a pistol pack. Only the 4 inch (I think) barrel was ever shot through and I believe it was a total of 30 rounds . I seem to remember getting the one box of ammo he purchased at the time he bought the gun and it still had 20 rounds in it. I've never shot the gun and have owned it for several years now. I have other DW's that I put wear on.

Have been a big fan of single actions ever since I purchased my first one back in 1997 or so. And especially like them with birds head grips. Plan to convert 2 of the 3 Single 7's I have in .327FM over the winter to the BH grips.
In this pic are a couple of New Model Vaqueros in .45 Colt. 2 Single 6's in .32 H&R Mag and a Single 7 in .327FM.
