One piece at a time

Post by wolfman » Thu Feb 03, 2022 5:40 pm

Riding out the ice storm, seems like a good time to do some enabling. Getting more infatuated with this brassy 357 Magnum each time out. First photo is a five shot group, offhand from 30 yards with my incumbent plinking load:

I do put a lot of effort into good offhand shooting (want to be RanchRoper when/if I grow up), & it's a lot easier with a good trigger:

I like single shots and bolt guns as well. When I was duck hunting in the late seventies I was shooting a single shot Ithaca 12 ga and my partner would razz me about it. He was shooting a pump and would blast 3 shots at a flock and maybe hit a bird while I could get 2 shots off and collect 2 birds. I figured he was just shooting in the general direction and I was shooting at a target. He may not have shot very well but he sure could call the ducks in. :lol:
I have been contemplating a single shot 223.
By the way..... Nice Shooting!

Just on the Henry USA site and they have a safety warning and recall on the single shot 357s. Is yours one of the rifles being recalled?

Beautiful Gun Wolf, and a group to be proud of. Nice shooting.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

This one was built after the changes were made. First one I had, steel receiver made in 2018, went through the recall. Came back with a much improved trigger. It now resides with my nephew.

Way to channel your inner RanchRoper. Good looking rifle and good looking target.

When you can get 5 rounds into two holes that is doing great! Fine looking single shooter Wolfman!
