Score with my old 441T .44 Special

I have drug one of my old rigs out of its hiding place in one of the safes and brought it back into the mix. I know some of you have seen the posts about putting the new mount on it along with a new FXII-4 Leupold. This gun killed more deer than I can remmember. When they opend 3 does a day in the 90s this was one of my prefered guns to do it with. I took it out Saturday evening and shot a big doe. It had the weirdest feeling. Just business as usual for the old gun. The doe was 33 yards and kept intentionally hiding behind trees. It took about 10 minutes of cat and mouse before I got a shot. She was looking for me the whole time. She stuck her neck out and that was that.

Here is a pick of the gun with her and one with Matt behind her for scale.

Excellent. Good to see that the old warhorse still works to perfection.

Congrats on the big doe, and the great shot. And that's a sweet looking piece of hardware in a classy chambering.
