[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 323064, member: 13"] Here is an article about using riflescopes on specialty pistols [url=http://www.handgunhunt.com/promo/membership/features/readNewArticle.php?oid=12&title=Rifle]Handgun Hunter Magazine - Rifle Scopes On Specialty Handguns[/url] Scopes On Specialty Handguns You will have to register to read, but it should answer some of your questions. I have two 7mm Dakota barrels: One was a 1-7 twist Lilja (you do not need a 1-7 twist), that was set-up for the 200 grain WIldcats. The wildcats ended up not needing that fast of twist, but a very accurate combo, with a 200 grain bullet at 2706 fps. Nailed a elk several years ago @ 666 yards. Performance was great. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again given the same or better conditions. Other barrel is a Lawton 1-9 twist, set up for the 162-180 vld's. Folks at best of the west are taking elk down just shy of 1k with a 7mm Rem Mag using the 168 Berger VLD and they have had great success. The 7mm Dakota in a specialty pistol using the 168 or the 180's will equal or outrun what a 7RM can do in a rifle. The brake is one of Darrel Holland's Radial brakes-It is awesome. If I did it all over again I would have made my barrel lighter, not sure of the contour off-hand. [/QUOTE]
