Welcome to the 29-2 Club

Nice looking piece! Just picked one up myself the other day (see thread "Snagged a 29-2"). Now you'll have to look around for a nice set of wooden target stocks. And I agree with the rest of the Forum, the original cylinder would have been P&R'd. Great pickup, enjoy!

my 4 inch 29-2 bad pic its a pretty clean gun

I have a feeling Emerson will follow the above recommendation...

I expect to have at least 500 rounds through this gal by the end of the year. It would be more, but I can't just quit shooting my 625-3 and my 24-3.......oh and my 686-4. Or my Ed Brown.

Dang. So much shootin to do, so little time.

By the way thanks for the suggestions on the loads.

Yes, I'm gonna have to put a set of wooden grips on. I'm thinking a nice set of Ahrends would really set her off nicely.

Nice roscoe!

Two favorite loads for my 29-2 are:

Lyman 429421 over 7g W231/HP38, WLP

and

Lyman 429244 over 22g W296/H110, WLP

Obviously the first is a "useful special" to quote EK at @ 900fps and the second load is a 1200fps 265g magnum - enough to do damn near anything you want it to w/o firewalling things.

Emerson,

Get with me. I have a bunch of different wood you can try on your 29 to see what you like so as to make your quest for stocks more specific. I have Ahrends, factory targets, magnas and combats, Spegals (sp?) and maybe a few more.

Thanks for the offer. I'll take you up on it.
