It is far more accurate than I am. One of these days I oughta buy a Ransom Rest and see what it will really do with good ammo. While not a 1.5" guarantee gun, it seems at least as tight as any 1.5's I've handled. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

These are currently my favorites as I sure do appreciate deep blue, ivory and some history. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth.../7009734/Toy_Store_Adventure#Post7009734 (for the story behind them)

KyWindageII Campfire Regular K Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 1,827 Kentucky	In December 2010 I purchased this NIB S&W 41. A couple of months later I purchased a five inch bull barrel and later added an Ultra dot to it. In less than three years, I have put 10,000 rounds through the iron sighted 7 inch and over 5,000 through the red dot sighted 5 inch. Sometime around 14K rounds the slide stop spring broke but the gun continued to function until I stripped it for cleaning and discovered the break. Since I shoot this pistol almost every day, it is definately my favorite.

I've owned a LOT of 22's over the years, and this Ruger is my all-time favorite. That might change soon...Going to the local gunshow to look at a Beretta Cheeta. Sorry, no pictures! Virgil B.

I have an early 7" one and last trip home found a 5" upper I ordered from Midway a long time ago (forgotten actually...) in a box on the bench in the garage. Took a bit of fitting but it shoots exceptionally well. Much prefer it over the 7" and am thinking an optic of some sort as well to play. Pleased with the Ultradot? It is at the top of my considerations. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Ah yes, but those who hunt hogs regularly know that they are all potential targets irrespective of age. And that would be classified as a suckling pig -- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that's good eats!
