Whit, congrats again to you and Season44! Tell me a little about the L/T; how ya liking it? Thank you! So far so good, Kim, but I haven't really torture tested it yet, so the jury is still out. I like that the dot is tiny (I think it is 1 1/2 MOA). I am going to keep beating on it and see what happens! 1 1/2 MOA....hmmm...that's interesting. Will it fit on an FA's base? I like my JPoint, but wish it was a little smaller dot. I think if it holds up to your 50's, it's a keeper. Keep me posted on the testing.

Hello gentlemen! This thread seems to have fizzled out, so I'm bringing it back for a while. I was hoping to get a little more feedback on the use of your custom revolvers. I'm planning a custom in the future and just searching for ideas and your experiences with yours in the field. What blueing technique seems to be the most durable for field/hunting use and who would you recommend doing it? I'm looking, for not only beauty but durability. I'm purdy set on CCH for the frame but undecided on barrel and cylinder. As you can prolly tell, I'm not very experienced with blued guns. Thanks for your input.

Have done everything....targets, small game...big game...cowboy shooting....always have a Blackhawk or SBH with me in the field. Taken 2 elk and 9 mulies with the .44 Mag...and numerous smaller deer, coyotes, cougars and vermin with the .44 Special. It's all good.... Nice! You wouldn't happen to have some pics, would ya? ;D

Thanks to all you gentlemen that has replied, so far. To elaborate a little on my original post; it's kinda two fold. First I was wondering how durable the custom finishes are on the fine revolvers many of you have. I hunt with all my guns (stainless) and was seeing how many of you hunt; for hunting is a good field testing of the finish, but not quite as good as competition shooting. Second, I wanted to get some ideas on some custom features and smiths; I'm planning a custom build in the future. I've always loved the looks of a case colored receiver. Of course I want the most durable finishes I can afford, because I will hunt with it also. I was hoping there was a lot more that hunted with theirs, cause I like seeing pics of trophies and revolvers. please keep the info and pics coming.

Not bad at all! Bob, that Ruger's an eye catcher; what's the details on it?

CraigC, that's some great photos. That's a beautiful rig you've got there! Would love some details on that piece of iron in the last photo.

That"s because I missed the eye by a bit, a follow-up shot was required, kinda embarrassing, ya know ? stevemb I understand completely! Nothing more embarrassing than shoot'n for a brain shot on a tick and hitting it in the leg. ;D
