Stopped by Bass Pro Shop today for a few bullets and to check powder. They tend to be a little high priced but they did have some Power Pistol so I grabbed two pounds. Didn't have the 147 XTP's I wanted. I just have to have a look at the revolvers whenever I'm there but the prices always seem high. Today though, they had the gun I have been looking for, A 686 4" six shot. It was marked "close-out" at $649.88. Had to have a closer look at that price. Straight barrel, excellent carry-up on all 6, tight b/c gap, no scratches and perfect crown, barrel and forcing cone. I'll take it!
Now it gets even better. They are having some sort of "second amendment sale" where they discount the amount of the sales tax (8.25% here) on guns. An additional 10% off the first purchase if you get their credit card, which I did. Total for the gun came to $584.90 out the door. It was originally marked at $809 +tax.
Got out the bright light, a magnifier and the feeler gauges when I got home. That tight b/c gap turned out to be even all the way around. A .005" wouldn't fit and a .004" fit with no friction so figure a gap of about .0045". It's going to be shot tomorrow. I'll post here how that goes.
