I had pretty much decided on the Triple Lock, now that I have the money, and in this narrow window in time that I have the funds for it. The finish on the Triple Lock is worn, but mechanically the gun is in great shape. I could never afford a Mint Triple Lock, and I would never want to fire one like that. I plan on shooting it ever so often. I already have one 29-2, not mint but a 4-inch gun. I took it out the other day to see what it could do at 50 yards (which is farther than I have shot any deer in the Adirondacks) and off hand I can keep it within 8-10 inches all day long. My 624 with 7.5 grains Unique and 250 grain cast bullet, even more accurate. Plus, a super minty 29-2 would only be wasted on me, I would have to shoot it, and often.
So here I am just waiting until the shop with the Triple Lock opens (what time is it now!) to see on all the details about shipping it my way. If it's still there, and I get it, you can bet there will be pictures.
