Outing with the X this morning

Post by wolfman » Sat Feb 20, 2021 2:15 pm

Took the BBX out this morning for some fun in the cold. Hadn't taken it out since getting a new glasses prescription, which has done wonders for my iron sight focus. Removed the RPP sight for this trip to see how I could do with the factory fiber optic sights, which are excellent by the way. Really like the RPP too, & it'll be going back on. Not because I was disappointed with the factory sight results; it's just much easier & more repeatable to adjust for different loads. The factory rear sight is easy to adjust for elevation, but difficult to do fine horizontal adjustments.
Trigger on this one is really nice. Started off crisp & about 5 lbs, but felt noticeably lighter after a couple times out. It now measures just under 4 lbs & seems to be settled in.
This rifle is just plain fun to shoot.

Target is a tube full shot standing offhand at ~27 yards.

What’s not to like about shooting a one hole group that absolutely eats the X ring away. Nice shooting!

Thanks guys, yes it's a 357 Magnum. Nothing against scopes, I'll put one on it in a heartbeat if the day comes when I can't shoot a decent group with it using open or peep sights. It's nice to not have the extra weight & bulk of a scope though.

Getting the itch for a BBCCH in 44 Magnum or 45 Colt. Wallet isn't ready though! Just as well since like so many other firearms, they're unobtainium. The lever action bug has bit pretty hard, wish I had picked the disease up earlier.
