The single shot is an MOA Maximum falling block chambered in .250 Savage. It wears a Burris 3x-9x pistol scope that I leave on 6x. Firing a 100 grain Ballistic Tip at around 2600 fps, it has proven to be a fantastic deer killer.

cmnash-love the rack on the top buck. Talk about character!
Love the .250 Savage. Very underrated cartridge.

This was my last deer with a handgun. Button buck taken with a 9" MGM Encore barrel in 357 mag. Frontal shot at about 30 yards. He ran about 20 yards and dropped.

REDHAWK, I was using a Barnes VOR TX factory load with the 140 grain XPB HP. I didn't have time to work anything up then.
I since have been loading Hornady 158 grain XTP's with a near max charge of H-110 and it shoots very good out of the Encore. It also shoots great in my 6 inch Security Six. Both have red dots on them. I hope to chronograph both guns when I get home in a few days.
Probably use the Ruger SS this year and either my 44 Encore or my 5" Super Redhawk 44.
