Bought this for hiking and backpacking / hunting.

Very nice

That looks like a handful. Can my new gun come out and play too? (S&W 610-1)

Looking good. i want a Mountain gun or a Ruger Alaskan - just for a walk in the woods gun.

Mountain gun is an apt name. That light barrel is what's needed when hiking in the mountains. I tried carrying an m58 .41 in Colorado - whew!

That's a beauty you have there - congratulations.

Nice purchase! I just picked up a 686 on Friday.

 

[Trad Archer]

Congrats. That is a very nice gun. Now I want one.

That'll leave a big hole! I like it. Great choice. I've only ever owned 357 revolvers. I've always wanted to make the jump to the 44. Very nice sidearm.

Get that one at Cabelas?

 

[MDW GUNS]

Love the .44 Mt Gun!

 

[HKGuns]

Get that one at Cabelas?

Yep. Between gift certificates and points it was on this side of inexpensive.

One of those in 45 Colt is on my "wish list", too - very nice looking revolver-

Those mountain guns are pretty neat in any caliber IMO.

Nice gun.
I have a 629-6 (lock/MIM gun) and a couple 629-4's MG's (last of the pre MIM/no lock guns).
All of them had cylinder throats that pin gauged around .427", too tight and wouldn't shoot cast bullets for crap. I finished reamed them to .4315" with a Manson reamer and the problem was solved.
I'm curious if your revolver has this problem. Let us know how it shoots with cast bullets.

Excellent purchase. Never had a .44 mag, .357 is the largest I've gone in a revolver (have .45 auto of course for the car gun). Just picked up a Ruger GP 100 .357 4" stainless as the hunting sidearm/woods carry. Can't wait to shoot it.

Great choice, mine's a hell of a shooter!
