[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1127214, member: 70559"] Years ago I hunted with a .454 a lot. Even with a KEEPER port it was like firing two .44 Mags in one hand at the same time. My buddy purchased a Ruger .44 Mag. Since I was used to recoil I told him, "If you let me play with your .44 Mag I will bring it back to you with 200 loaded rounds custom made for it." It was an offer too good to pass up. The first time to the range I set up at twenty-five yards on sandbags. All six shots went through the same hole. I told the owner he should get a scope and a trigger job. He did. The scope is a Bushnell 2-6X. When I delivered it to him I brought a target to show him it was sighted in. There were six holes from the six chambers. I fired three on 2X and three on 6X. The 100 yard group measured 2 15/16" center to center. With this said, the first time I handled a Smith was on my porch at night. I told the owner, "This is the nicest Ruger I ever handled." He said, "That's because it's a Smith." [/QUOTE]
