The normal bid a reasonable ammount and some moron overbids at the last minute didn't happen, thus, following my normal bid on two to fill the 44mag hole in the collection get nothing stratedy failed. I now have TWO Ruger 44mags (1 matte refinished SBH, 1 stainless Redhawk with rings, box of ammo, and shoulder holster) which I'm the high bidder. There goes the budget this month.

Careful Mr. Grimel, Issak Denison once said that when the Gods want to punish us, they answer our prayers. But on a more constructive note, e-Bay has an opt-out method for withdrawing bids. Abuse it more than about 5-6 times a year and they'll pull your account. Once or twice they tend to forgive.

Okay, now I have a SBH in route and a RH soon to be in route.

SBH is here. Redhawk will be here next week.

Which one to sell???

SBH blue 7.5" open sights

Redhawk stainless, 7.5" with Ruger scope rings milled into the barrel & shoulder holster.

The current plan is shoot both and keep the better shooter. Kind of hoping it's the SBH.

Okay, now I'm pissed. What I thought was my last 500 H&G Keith bullets is a box of freakin' 9mm LRN. Looks like this will be a factory ammo year.

I still have 2wks of deer season left. Knowing me, I'll sight in the SBH and use it if the Redhawk doesn't get here in time.
