That’s pretty darned impressive, Mel.

I inherited my younger brother’s gun collection when he died, which included a S&W model 29 44 mag. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of stopping at a motel in Orangeburg, SC on my way home with the collection. Whole damn truck, trailer, and all the contents were stolen two hours after I got there. Got the truck back eventually, but nothing else.

I have a Python Hunter, 357 mag, 10” barrel, Colt/Leupold 2x scope, that should be pretty accurate, but has timing issues. Been meaning to send it to Colt for timing and tighten the cylinder gap. One of these days.

It will be interesting to see what you can do with an optic. 

The Colt/Leupold 2x doesn’t really work for me. The eye relief doesn’t fit my long arms.

What barrel length are you using for the LR 6 ARC?
