Last tag filled this week. Really nice sized doe fell to my FA M83 in 44 mag. 60 yard shot with a 240 XTP over 2400. Complete pass through and about a 50 yard recovery. Super blessed this season…5 deer, 5 revolver kills, and a full freezer. This was also shot with the new set up from Fermin. I’m REALLY REALLY regretting having the front sight deleted on both of my M97s…  |

Congratulations on your iron sight kills!
I think irons are great if you have the time to wait for the right shot - definitely require more light on the animal than a red dot. Irons are even harder to see on pigs.
It's hard to beat an iron sighted 5.5" FA 97 as a working holster gun. You can have one of yours cut and the sight added at FA - or better yet - buy a new one in 44 special or 41 magnum.

I wonder what FA would charge to install the front sights now?
Regardless looks like it was a fun season. Thanks for sharing the hunts.

Call Bob and ask him, not many companies you can call and speak with the president and get a straight answer from him. With all of the silhouette guns they have made I bet they would leave the trigger alone. |
