I have a 9.5" SRH and it's my favorite gun to shoot. I ended up using the Wolff 10# trigger return spring combined with a 12# hammer spring. This and polishing the action makes a crisp trigger pull to my taste. I'm new to reloading and now working on getting a decent hunting load. For target load, so far the best I can get is a 2.5 inch group at 50 yds, bench rest with sand bags. Not sure if this is good or bad with a Ruger revolver but hopefully it will get better once I put more rounds thru it and get used to the gun. I'm using a Leupold 2x and happy with it. I've never hunt with a handgun before, this will be my first. I'm a bowhunter and decided to try the SRH next time I go hunting in the woods/jungle here in Hawaii.
Still undecided between a low power scope and an Ultra Dot red dot sight.
The Hogue Tamer grip looks very good. That is the way to go. Is that what comes on a brand new Ruger?
Bob, here is a photo of a friend's SRH (in .454) with an Ultradot 30 mounted with Ruger rings (as well as Hogue Tamer grips)-- this is the same setup I am using on my .475 Linebaugh SRH, but I don't have a good closeup photo. Thought you would like to see how it looks with the Ultradot.
And just so we're clear, I am not a fan of that muzzle brake (it's too damn loud!)!
Whitworth, is that a Magnaport brake & conversion?
Yes it is. It's nicely done and it shoots well. The brake tames recoil nicely, but the down side is the noise it generates -- there is no way I would hunt with it without hearing protection.
