Wednesday evening silhouette matches. I carried my cowboy gun in a soft case strapped across my back but it's a bit ungainly in rush hour traffic....

Thanks, Cedestech. My guns are Contenders with scopes mounted similar to yours there. I use 22lr (obviously) for smallbore hunter pistol and a 22 hornet with mild loads for hunter pistol. I had my eye on an Anschutz Exemplar until I found out we couldn't use bolt guns.

Here's normal config with 18X Redfield

Iron sights?

Can she shoot? (10 shots)

You betcha!

I may be selling her because we don't have much in the way of silhouette pistol matches here anymore. I still do rifle and
black powder.

Yes, 256 win mag.
You can use it for 1/2 size unlimited any sight.
Twist is not fast enough to use a heavy bullet for Rams.
256 win mag is not allowed for hunters pistol.

...I don't like recoil, but I love to experiment.
