RE: Need Help Selecting a Hunting Pistol
45-70? At the risk of sounding like a gun virgin, what does the 70 mean? I' m a bowhunter mostly - slug gun hunter once a year. I carried a friends Ruger .45 in the field on day 2 of shotgun season here (new Illinois law) and fell in love with it. Thats why I' m looking for a pistol/revolver.
I don' t have much use for a rifle here. In Illinois we can only hunt varmits and coyotes with rifle - I' m not in to either.
I looked at a Ruger Super RedHawk 454 today and except for the price, was pretty impressed. It comes with scope rings also. I' m going to a gun auction Sunday morning and would like to have some ideas.
