I got my 686 dirty for the first time today.

It quit raining for a bit this afternoon so I headed out to our gun range to shoot my 686 for the first time.



This was my first 6 rounds at maybe just over 100 ft.





This is what I was shooting.



29 out of 50, 58%. I'm quite pleased considering this is the first time I've ever shot this 686.

I knew I was going to like it the first time I ever held it in my hands. I will become more proficient in time.

Sir, that is a beautiful 686 that is only excited by your range.

Did you install the Millett rear sight, or was it on the gun when you got it?

This is how it was when I got it, Millett sight already on it.

I put the original stocks back on it and gave it a good cleaning. I'll probably put the Pachmayrs or what ever they were ( ) back on it and do some more shooting.

What "dash" # is it? There was a time when the Millet sight was factory installed, "if my memory serves me correctly".

Its a no-dash 686.

I wonder if that could have been part of the special order.

At a little over 33 yards that isn't bad at all. Especially since it is the first time you fired this one. At that distance I would consider myself lucky to make half that many hits on that paper plate. Good job.

Nice gun and nice shootin'!

I would love to know but its not worth the $75 to me to find out.

Thanks. I have this M27 that I haven't shot yet either.

 

[ImDrRich]

Wow - look at the price on that box! A little over $300.

Those were the days!

 

[rubiranch]

And it was on sale. They discounted it almost a full 1%. An amazing $3.01. LOL

I love seeing guns actually being put to good use. (Dirty pics!! )
Looks like you had a great time.
