Well got to shoot it today. Decent group at 25 yards with some 200 grain bullets and h110. Gonna be a hard choice on what to carry to the blind the Freedom arms or the smith. Got to learn how to post pictures on here at some point.

..thanks...I have the same gun but a 6.5" first edition HUNTER...  It was originally shipped to distributor Lew Horton, but was not one of their exclusives. They returned it to the factory to have a fluted cylinder installed. I was later able to find an original unfluted cylinder and have it fitted to the gun. I believe that target was a custom Lee 165 grain Keith style SWC at 25 yards sitting.. Excellent shooters...Bob |

My red dot mount should be in Monday and will try to get a load worked up next week. Our deer season starts the in October so i got a couple weeks to play with it. My stealth hunter is good to go if not.

Smith .41 mag N frames (actually ALL N frames) are special. I have a 5-7/8" Nickle 57 no dash, and a 6" SS unfluted 657-3 made before they went to SS innards.  |
