Anyway, standard fare...Blued Single Six in 17HMR with a Simmons 4x32 Handgun Scope with the appropriate eye relief. The mount is a Weigand Combat Handguns Inc. mount for the Ruger Single Six. Looks good and is solid... I would like to become proficient enough with this handgun to take it out sniping for squirrels. It'd be difficult to hit a moving one with the 4x scope but if one remains still for a few seconds, it will be mine...Hopefully. Patience comes with age and you can't teach common sense

If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Let us know what kind of groups you get out of it. I may pick one of those up. Do not take your greatness to the graveyard!!

Fortunately, I bought another today in 22LR/MAG! Happy camper! Traded in my Kel-Tec PF-9 & Crickett 22 MAG. Looking forward to getting it sighted in & hunting Coyotes. Thanks for the motivation.
