Yup Rudy that's the way I am leaning these days. This is to become my new primary handgun hunting handgun. It replaces the old S&W 29 I carried so long in so many states and which really killed more game for me than any other single gun I've owned other than small game/birds of course.

While I was picking it up today I almost had a heart attacky. I walked over to the used long gun rack and low and behold what do I see but an original Rem. 700 Mtn. Rifle in .270 Win. I thought for awhile it might be the one I stupidly traded off many years ago. Wore a Burris Fullfield II scope (dunno maybe a 3-9?) in Weaver rings on Weaver Bases. Mine had Weaver bases. I noticed the grip had been busted pretty badly and put back together with a screw thru the cap. Didn't like that. Steve wouldn't come lower than $500 out the door. I decided to wait.
Came home and found the receipt where I bought mine in '89 and called back to compare SNs. It wasn't mine. So I passed on it in the condtion it was in. If it had been my old gun I'd have taken it and replaced the stock.
Sure wish I had that rifle back.
So most of my hunting this season will be done with the above Taurus Model 44 in .44 Magnum with 12" barrel shot with factory irons and either my Rem. 700 Mtn. Rifle in 7-08 or my LW .243. I will however take the TC 14" .257 JDJ some and my Taurus Tracker Ti .357 Mag. will always be along and readily accessible "just in case". Doubt the RBs will see any deer hunting use but maybe depending on how the season goes. I would like to use the .454 Casull with the Barnes XPB and the Nosler HGPT both on a deer if the chance is presented.
