    Look what followed me home:rock:

    The hunter model single six. With a Bushnell 2-6 scope.

    I figure i can hunt squirrels & groundhogs and be able to practice with a nearly identical gun to my hunting revolver at much less cost and time(even though I reload my own 44 for less than factory, its still pricey & time consuming)

    I'm curious as well. My next pistol is likely a .22.

    about $750
    A bit on the pricey side, IMO but I was still under my budgeted amount :)
    Going for the hunter model so that I can scope it, & then buying the scope itself all added up.

    Dammit. I want one!

    But, I think I better get one I can deer hunt with FIRST.

    Awesome, Rybo. I wish I knew someone down here who had the .44 I could shoot. I might have to start squirrelin' some cash!

    Congrats!

    Very nice, But I'm going to ask a Stupid question because I've never used one like that before...

    How does the eye relief work on that scope? I mean it appears to be a regular scope, but it has to have some sort of handgun feature, right? I'm not sure I would want my face 3" away from it, when it goes bang...lol.

    Very nice Ryan, it wont cost you a fortune to become prolific shooting that :)

    You get somewhere around 18 inches of eye relief with most handgun scopes.
