My son found a early Christmas gift that he paid for half of. He got s Ruger GP100 SS 357mag. I desided I needed to find something so I did some trading and came up with a Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull 8 3/8" barrel. He has his sighted in with a red dot scope. I just made a order from Graf & Son for some dies, starline brass and 300gr XTP mag bullets. Hope to be shooting the end of the week and sneak out the last few days of Kansas gun season.

Trying to figure out what glass to put on these things. The GP100 dosnt have a lot of recoil so I'm betting a Bushnell will work. But for the RB I want something that will stay together for many years.

I have a dot on my GeeP and wouldn't have it any other way.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

A Bushnell Elite will hold up to your Raging Bull. And of course, a leu plod is always a great choice. If you're on a tight budget, weaver makes a great scope.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Nice toys!
Have you shot the Taurus much? Just wondering how you like those grips. I don't care much for the taurus stock grips but hogue mono grips are nice and low cost,,, well worth $15,,, imho.

Don't get me wrong some folks wouldn't change-em.

Thats a nice .357 too. Happy hunting.

The grips aren't to bad, but I have only shot it 10 times today.

Nice deal, have fun with those. Ive played around with many scopes. I find leupold is the best for many reasons but the burris and bushnell work

GREAT.
How did you like it? Looks like it will be a good shooter?
Reloads or factory?
I think a your scope will be a fine addition.
