After 30+ years of building custom Rugers, I finally made one I can call my favorite. It's simple and clean and chambered in .414 Martin Razorback:  -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" What made this one your favorite? There are a few reasons. .41 is my favorite caliber and the Razorback was my first handgun wildcat (designed in 1993). So it holds sentimental value. Plus you can shoot .41 Magnum in it. As for the gun: 1) 6.0" is my preferred barrel length 2) To me, it's perfectly balanced with the Super Blackhawk Hunter gripframe 3) 2 lb trigger with absolutely no creep 4) My eyes take to the post aluminum front sight and Bowen target rear This'll sound oblique, but ever had a revolver you can just hit with? Like really hit with. Whether it be offhand or from the bench, it shoots tight and is extremely consistent across a wide variety of bullet weights and loads. Put another way, it finds the target a lot, even when I think I messed-up....if that makes any sense. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" |

You've got a dandy skill being able to build a revolver to your exact specs, and the experience to know what you like. That m21 I've posted about from time to time wouldn't have been my first choice years ago but its what I had and I seem to "really hit" with it. The clincher for me was when my primary string work horse learned to distinguish its report. I appreciate that I am not the only one who lets sentimentality influence my taste. What you say makes perfect sense.   |

Pretty. But most importantly, how does it shoot?

Pretty. But most importantly, how does it shoot? Knowing the man who owns it? I’d say it’s a fine performer. He’s pretty exacting in his expectations and doesn’t like a wall hanger! |

Nice looking hunting rig, Dick, looks overall similar to my 414sm except you’ve got 1/2” longer barrel and I’ve got a bit longer frame.
