Well, I've been drooling over one of Ruger's stainless Bearcats every since they come out with them. Evenone here knows what happens once you get a handgun stuck in you mind...LOL...got me one last week and took it out one evening to try to break it in on a squirrel. My son was along for the trip with his Charger and he promised to let me shoot one squirrel...LOL


That was my one....



and this is what he ended up with. Not bad for a late evening hunt. At least I got to break mine in.

It doesn't get much better than that. Breaking in a new handgun and hunting with your son.

so how close does the bearcat shoot to point of aim? Did you have to adjust it any or just shoot different brands till one shot to point of aim? Very cool gun.

The only ammo I've shot so far is the 550 count box of federal you get at walmart. The windage is good but, it shoots about three inches high at 25 yards.
