Single-sixer, thanks for your reply and the info you provided!

i have this model, bought new by me in 2009 and unfired by me. I'm wondering what a reasonable value for insurance purposes would be in today's market? Has anyone seen one recently sold?

Thanks Winterwood! That Unique load sounds like the answer, I'll give it a try and report back.

Hi all, I'm looking for recommended loads for my Ruger Blackhawk .30 Carbine. It has the 7.5" barrel of course. Carbine ammo loaded for rifle length barrel have a ferocious bark in this revolver! I'd like some loads more appropiate to this barrel length but stout enough for 100 yard target...

I will never forget Skeeter Skelton's review of the .30C when it first came out.. he said when he touched off the first round, he felt like someone had set off a dynamite cap in eah ear and smacked him in the face with a wet towel! Really stuck with me! Thanks for advice guys!

I hate it when I post in haste and then find out at least one of my answers is in a sticky, right on the page! From the Ruger site, I found that my Blackhawk was shipping in 1977! I'd still appreciate a suggestion for a scope and rings though!

I have one, series number 51-1244X. It has been set up for a scope and has a mount without a name. I was wondering if someone can tell me it's age? And what would be a reasonable good scope and rings to put on it? Honestly I've had it a while and never fired it! Only thought of it when my...

I getting ready to load for my SP101, cast some boolits up, sized to .312 but when I checked the mouth of the cylinders looks like they are about .309! Is this usual in this model and won't it cause a lack of accuracy? Should I size down to .310 or so or see about having the cylinder honed...

What did Ruger have to say? You are really keeping us in suspense here! :)

I see that Ruger is chambering the Hawkeye compact in 7.62x39 as well a 6.8! Dang, bet either of those would be a sweet little carbine! List price is near $900; what would be "real world" price do you think?

I think they really missed the price-point on this! make it around $400 and they'd sell a ton of them! But at $625, no way! it is just a 10/22 in drag!

Thanks guys! I have a set of TR200 tech sights on one, I took another look at their web site and saw they have a DPMS peep front sight option. I emailed them to ask if that would work with the TR200. I also have the Williams FP-RU on another and I didn't like that it doesn't have click...

Hi all, Has anyone setup a 10-22 with target type peep sights? I'm 67 and the eyes were the second thing to go! I could go with a scope but I've always liked the Redfield 75 and Lyman 17 combo on my Remington 513. I have a standard 10-22 carbine, a Walmart special and a Talo III...
