Well I purchase a used FA model 83 454 today from Gander Mountain. It is engraved and has the front sight , but no rear sight. It has a Leupold base on the rear and 7 1/2" inch barrel. They were asking $1164 and I offered $1000 and they took it. It appears to have been fired only a little. I plan to hunt deer and elk with this rig and maybe a hog. I purchased the dies and some brass and bullets to reload along with 3 boxes of factory ammo. Looks like I will get to shoot it over the holidays to sight it in and maybe some load development. I will let you know how it goes. There is a lot of information here and you guys are partly responsible for me spending this much on a handgun, especially a revolver. I have a number of single shot handguns and was thinking about an H-S Precision in 7-08. I guess that will have to wait until I can save some more $$$$.

Klong,
Just last year I was dealing with H-S on a 35 Whelen but ended up with a light weight Kimber 7mm-08. I really like this Kimber.
Anyhow, you did well on your purchase. Congrats. I believe you will enjoy your new gun.
Take Care,
Scott

Sounds like a good deal.
