Most of the mule deer I've taken over the past 30 years have 80% of the time been no further than 25-50 yards away, I guess it depends on where you hunt, I have no bones taken one with my 686 with a 6 inch barrel, as stated above shot placement is crucial with what ever weapon you use! Pigman

Thanks Erich, I appreciate the info. Pigman

Hey fellas, I started reading this thread and over the years I never really gave much thought to the 125gr bullets, I know you all are referring to a peticular model here, but are these a poor choice for other Smith 357's ?? Over the years I have fed my 686 with all kinds of ammo with no ill...

I have randomly picked up 357 shells from our local store and at a non inflated price around $20 a box of 50. More recently I've seen an intense run on .22 ammo, actually non to be had. I called this morning and the guy in sporting goods said he had got in a few bricks , I went down an he had 8...

Funny I just did the same thing. Saw this model 17 that I,ve been wanting , in my gut I felt the price was too high yet you know , when you want it , you want it. Talked to a friend that has dealt guns for years and asked about the shop in question and he flat told me what he thought (not good)...

Thanks for the reply fellas, and jimmyjoe that kind of puts it in perspective, I think I'll keep looking! And thanks Ken I'll keep your offer in mind. Pigman

Hi everyone, I just stoped by a local gun shop and checked out a model 17-4 with a 4 inch pinned barrel, it's got rubbers on it and is inpristine condition. I don't know if it has a box and all, they want $625 for it.I've been wanting one of these for some time, but the price seems high, can any...

Here in the N.W. seems like any stock in the stores like Wallmart and alike seem to disappear pretty quickly, heck there even seems to be a run on .22 ammo, had a sale flyer come out and the fella at the store said they didn't even recieve enough for the sale, and sub'ed a better quality for the...

Thanks guys thats what I wanted to hear and see. I'm going to get some of the checkered ones for a model 60 that was my Dads, they would look a lot nicer than the Pac's and I hoping they will feel the same, the pachmeyer grips are comfortable but I need to put wood on this gun. Pigman

Hi, I tryed the search button but haven't found a picture. I am thinking about the Eagle checkered secret service grips for my model 60 snubby, any of you have pictures of these grips on a J frame model 60?? They sure look nice on thier site and I'm seriously thinking of picking up a pair...

I don,t have a clue how many were made, but I love shooting mine, I've had it for over 20 some years, it's a 17-5

Stoneman, I wouldn,t mind trying some of the winchester power point, I was wondering what makes you think the american eagle is underpowered? I'll be darned if I can tell the diff between some ammo other that the way is functions in the gun. If there are higher powered 22's out there I sure...

I have been trying several brands of 22 ammo since I asked this question about 22's, and I have to say CCI does seem to be a premium type bullet, yet it is expensive, the american eagle(federal) In my opinion seems to be federals better quality 22, although the bulk pack federal I have had very...

Rudy, the difference is the 22K holes on the speed loader line up exactly with that of the cylinder of the pistol, where as the 22J holes in the speed loader is that of a slightly smaller diameter and do not line up exactly with the cylinder holes of the pistol, although they are close enough to...

Just last week I picked up a couple of HKS 22K's off of ebay, they were around $8 a piece.Take a look there, I also have a HKS 22J it works just fine in my Model 17, I think ideally one would want the HKS 22K, I believe that is the correct one for that model, the 22J is a little smaller in...

I,m new to this forum and the picture posting thing,

SS686, congratulations on scoring one nice gun, I bought my 686 no dash back in 1986, and it was my first Smith, great shooting gun and I have had tons of enjoyment from shooting it, I more recently got it back from selling it 9 years ago to a friend who really never shot it. I feel very...

302, scroll down the page a little, I asked about 22 ammo preferences and got a lot of good input as to what everybody is using, that said I have been really liking American Eagle(federal)in my model 17 ,38 grain copper covered hollow points. Pigman
