629-5 Extreme Hunter

[cherrypointmarine]

Anyone have/seen one of these ? Never seen one then all of a sudden I've seen 2 lately . I have a 29-3 Silhouette , wondering if it'd be worth it for the extra 1 1/2 inch , seeing as they have a 12in barrel . Plus it's a PC/Lew Horton , so you know it's a fine weapon .

With the help of forum member Weatherby, I landed on my Extreme Hunter right when the covid lockdowns hit. He spotted it in his lgs and contacted me knowing my love for 44 mags. Word is that mine was a one off for one of the wheels at the factory. It has a polished non-fluted cylinder, gold bead patridge front sight and Nill grips. No documentation but it had to have had an action job done too. It has a CHK serial prefix indicating a 2004 ship date. This is how I received the gun:





While the Leupold scope is nice, it was just too darn heavy so I used a Raptor mount to put a Burris FFIII on it. This gun is dead nuts accurate at 25 yds, I haven't been able to get it out past that yet. Here are a couple of pics in its current configuration:
