After a lot of indecision, I picked up a new gun yesterday. A Ruger 96/44. It's ugly as sin, but the action is smooth as butter and it shoulders and points naturally. Assuming it's a little more accurate than me, it will make a great gun in the thick stuff that I always end up in.

Now I need a companion revolver for it. This habit is getting costly.

See the Ruger superblackhawk. Have a trigger job done and get the barrel ported.....
