The schools are closed. So where are the students going to relive them selves? With the school breakfast and lunch programs closed parents are stocking the pantry with food and TP for the next two weeks or longer. Granddaughters day care is over run with older kids that the parents used to...

Range report. At 15 yards the 327 fed mag SP 101 is printing 1 7/8 inch groups with it's favorite load. The good news is, it fires every time I pull the trigger with a live round in the chamber. The Wolf 8# trigger return spring and the Ruger hammer spring is the most reliable combination...

SP 101 3" barrel was bear to pull the new out of the box trigger, but went bang every time with factory and handloads. So I tried all three springs and the revolver became unreliable. There was another issue and off to the factory it went. That gave me time to reflect on the 14 lb. trigger...

January 8, 2019, I picked up a new SP101 in 327 Fed Mag. Cut my finger on a metal burr when I picked it up to examine it. I was shocked to believe it had been let out of the factory. This is my first Ruger double action and I selected it expressly in 327 Fed Mag because it had a three-inch...

Fascinated with the 32 H&R Vaquero Birdshead. Loaded it down for SAS and up for varmints. The single six Vaquero is a joy to shoot. finally found a accurate load with lead Semi wad cutters and that is all I shoot. So I hoped the 327 SP 101 would be a good way to introduce young shooters to...

Here it is July of 18 and I finally got to the range to fire the Scout rifle after installing the extended mag release. I need to get to the range more often. The extended release held the mag in place for 40 rounds and make quick work of releasing the mags. The twenty round and thirty round...

Thank you Blackhawk. That thread has friendly advice and then the experts get started.

A lady SAS uses the 32 H&R for her revolvers. When a chance to shot one came up, I was impressed with the "little" magnum. Then an opportunity to own one arose. I have used the Vaquero as a backup gun in a couple of matches without loss of time or accuracy. Just keep in mind that it takes a...

Thanks for the replies, not looking to find the actual gun just wanting to see if it had been seen or if some one was enjoying the super Blackhawk grips on a 41 mag. Mr. Bradshaw you are right. It was a 6 1/2 inch barrel. Made some sitting jack rabbit silhouettes for 3/8 plate and the 41...

IN 1986 in Denton Texas a 41 mag single action was sold in a pawn shop on the square to finance a graduate degree in Industrial Technology Education. The Blackhawk had been returned to the factory to have the dragoon style grip installed properly. It had some oversized grips in place and in...

Every wonder if one part on a Ruger rifle is used on other Ruger rifle? The interchangeable scope rings is one of the features I like about Rugers. Changed out a factory release on a Mini 14 a few weeks ago and it solved some to the magazine problems I had encountered with the mini. Ordered...

Second Question. Had been watching the Ruger Scout rifle for over a year and when I saw one in 6.5 Creedmoor I checked the bank balance and put the money on the counter. I had a 300 short magnum in a Browning rifle and never liked anything about it except the short action, so the Creedmoor was...
