Sorry for not having pictures yet. I'm having a little problem with the main computer, so I'm using the laptop.

I just picked up one of these .44 Mags from the local dealer. It is NIB, all paperwork, tools, etc. I probably paid a little to much for it ($800 OTD) but I've never seen one in person before and I really liked it. It has the three Ts and case hardened trigger and hammer.

It looks like it would be one heck of a shooter. Anyone else have one of these long barreled cannons and how do they shoot?

I like that presentation case. That thing must be huge. What loads did you use to harvest those whitetails? Approx. what was the range? And one more, what kind of scope mount is that on the lower one?

I had one in the late 90's never fired it, it was unturned in the box I got it when a collector died and his elderly wife had a dealer dispose of his S&W's. I traded it for a SXS Pederson shotgun. This was the only S&W i ever sold and I have regretted it you did not pay to much. I think they were dropped about 1991.
