I shot two 3shot groups offhand. Pretty pleased with the result. Aimed under the black 7 ring.

Was suppose to sight in at 85m but prefered a roof over my head and targets in the rain At 85meter according to ballisticcalculation my load would print around +4,5cm as highest at 50m and -4,5cm low at 100m. Not sure how to use the ladder of the buckhorn now its set at slot 2. Will try it higher on longer distances. Any Suggestion how to think is welcome.

Then it was time for my S&W 17-2 22lr

A rainy day but atleast had some fun

Love that 17-2. I've had a couple of them over the years. About as good as it gets in a classic 22 double action.

Yeah I really like it, bought it with original box and a old but not much used cowboy leather holster with cartridgebelt. The original owner passed away and and his son sold it to me.

One notch at a time.

And good shooting there.

[Sir Henry]

Great shooting especially with the Henry.

Nice shooting and those are some nice looking firearms. That M/17 is such a classic looking revolver.
