Seems like it ought to be very quiet, like a BB gun or so.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-75079753803601315522011-11-30T02:44:08.115-05:002011-11-30T02:44:08.115-05:00Get some Aquila Colibri.

My first firearm was a Ruger Single-Six convertible, so this was more nostalgia than practicality. The .17 HMR was a mutual favor from a friend. Besides it struck my fancy to own a .17 next to that 45-110.RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-48210550590543232092011-11-27T10:37:24.221-05:002011-11-27T10:37:24.221-05:00Anon - thanks for identifying the grips.

I've been unable to find much info on the gun, owner's manual, or that sort of stuff. <br /><br />RegT - I've looked at the Single-Six a few times, but wanted to stick with DA/SA. I will probably only use single action on rare occasion.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-7833634688698477602011-11-27T00:14:53.083-05:002011-11-27T00:14:53.083-05:00Nice set of Herrets Shooting Star grips on the rev...Nice set of Herrets Shooting Star grips on the revolver.

I also recently picked up a Ruger Single-Six in .17 HMR. Brownell's sells a cylinder chambered for the .17 HM2. so I snagged one of those, since HM2 is almost half the price of the HMR. <br /><br />Haven't shot that one yet, but I'm looking forward to shooting it the same day I put the first 535 grain Lyman Postell cast bullets from my 45-110 Shiloh Sharps downrange. It appeals to my sense of weirdness: 45-110 followed by .17 HM2. Or maybe I should drill out the nose of one of those 535 gr bullets and slip in one of those .17 HM2 rounds ;-)RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-80975785751716869842011-11-25T19:04:01.863-05:002011-11-25T19:04:01.863-05:00Ya just can't have too many .22's.Ya just can't have too many .22's.Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.com
