Ruger Blackhawk Elite Tuning - My First

[jfrey]

Good advice on the pins Jon. I "found" mine at the local hardware store in the spares container for door closers. They even are tapered on one end for ease of use.

Jon,
X2 on the good advice.   those short pins are an awesome idea!!

thanks

Now the wait for parts...

I'm thinking about a Leapers Bugbuster.

Or I might just grab a 3-9 from Mike. I don't need mildots since all my hunting is done within the 1/2" killzone zero.

you might have a problem getting the bugbuster set far enough back to get proper eye relief. better to stick with a full size scope.

I'm still at this stage Ordered some stuff from the UK! Baaaaad idea! Takes like 2 weeks!

[UCChris]

Alright, ordered a 3-9 from Mike. Everything *should* be here by Friday, except the trigger group. I will be tearing down my XS12 to put some tar on the spring due to some buzz.

can't wait to see how this turns out.

[UCChris]

Me neither. I'm super excited! I'm currently looking for a shroud that will fit. I love the look of the Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme barrel, but I'm not sure if that is a shroud, or a full barrel covering.

why don't you get a plain shroud like mine?

[UCChris]

I like contours on my shrouds...

Next is to figure out if there is a way to make the Stoeger ATAC stock fit.

How handy are you and what equipment do you have?

[UCChris]

I'm handy with no equipment.

[Privateer]

I'm handy with no equipment.

Never mind then.

Yup, it's sad isn't it?

Oooh. THAT is a sexy rifle!

To Chris and everyone who has contributed to this thread, I want to thank you. There has been a lot of great information shared here and I am benefiting quite a bit from it. I'm very excited to see the end result. Keep it coming and don't be stingy with the pics!

That's what this forum is all about. Sharing what we've learned, so others can benefit, as well.

It's even sadder that I am not handy with NO tools! (Maybe I am safer that way)

I see you got the scope to fit. Looks like my Eclipse. I'm not risking that scope, at least until I know Dusky won't tear them up.

[FrozenVapors]

I even got better 6 bolt rings on it now hahaha

Got about 50-75 shots with this scope on this rifle thus far! Will let you know George
