It belonged to my grandfather, then my dad, and now me.

I believe Dan Wesson's are a bargain, particularly used ones like this one. Conduct is the best proof of character.

If it won't shoot a 10 shot group in less than 3" at 50 yards, I have no use of it. Shot this in rapid fire competition rapid fire stage, 25 yards.

That is why I bought a 1.5" P2 model. It has the looks and performance all in one. THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
