Scoped Revolver Ultimate Truck Gun

[Bearcat1982]

Just a bit of exaggeration for the title. But for most intents and purpose that could possibly arise I think this covers alot of bases pretty well. Especially out in the sticks. Hopefully everyone is doing well! Gun season in these parts start in a couple weeks looking fwd to having this in rotation this year.

 

[mpmax]

I approve of your concept!

 

[silicosys4]

Yup.

Not sure about it as a truck gun but I think it's one of the best hunting revolvers extant.

 

[adcoch1]

It's a gun, fits in truck, and will suffice for shooting animals. Works for me...

Whats the eye relief on those things?

Well, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade but I've had difficulty with optical sights on handguns. I've tried several and this is the only gun I have left with and optical sight. A 45 ACP 1911 with a Tasco sight.

For handgun, I find the optical sight a bit more distracting for quick follow up shots than standard iron sights.But this is one data point and others may have better success with the optical handgun sights.,

I have only experience with hogue and stock grips. What grips have you preferred? You 44 wears a nice pair/set

The rubber/insert grips are very good. The walnut Ropers are about the same shape and work as well. My favorites are these customs by Zane Thompson.

I put these on tonight from Amazon Hogue LamoCamo... im not sure if I care for them. The hogue wood grips that are on my Gp100 have checkering. These feel a little smooth to me. I'll leave them on for a bit and see if they grow on me

Sorry double post on the pic.

You could shoot a truck with that but only the smaller ones. Rangers, Mavericks, etc.
Seriously, I like it. Still wish I'd bought the 454 way back for $399 in a local shop. I guess that was a different thread.

yeah... prices have changed drastically in the last 10 years. Its crazy.

Great pictures.
If the price was in another country's currency, I wonder if it would be so crazy.

Sorry, no pictures! I have 2, a S&W 686 in 357 Magnum with a 2X Leupold and a Ruger Super Redhawk in 44 Magnum, also with a 2X Leupold. Both revolvers have 6 or 6-1/2 inch barrels.

Please educate me, as I have never owned a truck.
Why is it a truck gun? I can only guess.

To carry easily in and out of a truck should a need arise

One shoots better out of the drinkers side.

i cannot focus on sights and target anymore. my 66 has a sro trijicon and my 6inch 629 has a weaver 45mm qwik point from the 90s.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Love the guns and pics, but just thinking about shooting any of these from inside a vehicle makes my ears bleed....

My idea of a truck gun is a rifle or shotgun carried on a cab rack or in the bed to despatch pests/predators, wounded animals or opportunity game.

It's all good, though.

Do not need a stinking scope at 69.
