Got guns?

- Start date
I put on the barracuda stock just before we moved & realized today that the cheek weld is too tight for me to comfortably get full field of view in the scope so I put on some taller rings yesterday - means I have to sight it in again.

I have to use pretty tall rings on my .222 just to clear the bolt as it's quite straight and Mauser-ish
The bolt on my later L461 was bent more and lacked the lightening hole

Frontier Firepower - American Handgunner
Firepower of Old West revolvers is one of the most misrepresented historical aspects of that era.

We may never know where some of these guns ended up.....
For years US Army hid, downplayed extent of firearms loss
The U.S. Army has hidden or downplayed the extent to which its firearms disappear, significantly understating losses and thefts even as some weapons are used in street crimes.

Maybe Harry Was Right - American Handgunner
I’ve had a longtime affection for S&W Model 29’s of all kinds, and specifically the blued 6.5" versions. And like many of you, it was fostered by Clint Eastwood and his Dirty Harry movies.

One of the new Python's might fit you as well - from what I've read they are really slick.

The Colt Python - American Handgunner
It was circa-1955. Bullseye shooting, where you stood on your hind legs and shot one-handed is king. Cops’ holsters are filled with either a Colt or S&W DA revolver, with more of the former than the latter.

A Long Shot

Here in Canada if I saw that sign, I'd just figure EVERY shot is a warning shot because any shooter that doesn't have at minimum a Dillon 650XL with a case feeder is a newbie and doesn't practice their skills regularly anyway. And casings are free and all you need to pay for is powder and primers. I may as well walk up to your door and deliver the flyer I've been hired to do as a pimply faced kid without fear of dying! Lol
You neglected "projectile" in the wish list. Kinda important. : )
Here's my favorite gun, and my IPSC backup equipment (I use a Shadow 2 as my main shooter and everyone knows what that looks like!):
It's a brushed stainless CZ 75 B. I put on flat aluminum grips, changed out the sights for competition fiber optic, every spring changed out, along with a Competition Trigger, which I ended up needing help to install properly as some parts ended up needed shaping/grinding. The "B" part of 75 B is gone due to the trigger modification. The double action trigger weight is now just under 9 pounds, and the single action is around 3.5 pounds.
The wife shot over 500 rounds today, and we're both tired because earlier this morning we were doing mountain bike drills in our local park 'n' ride (bunny hopping) which she seems to be making progress at. As far as IPSC, it's been hard because of the covid lockdown. I miss competition!
