I updated my hunting handguns with new glass.

S&W 629 Classic 44 Rem Mag with a Leupold FX-II 4x28mm

Should be fun hunting this fall.

You are displaying some real firepower for this fall. Beautiful hand cannons and beautifully displayed.

Nice, Jim, but you need to upgrade to an SSK .375JDJ! :mrgreen:

I would like to get the 375 JDJ but I need the straight walled case of the 375 Win to be legal in Southern MI.

Looking good Jim, I was wondering how you were managing the recoil on the 375 and I seem it has a break on it. My 7-30 waters would end up above my head when shot off hand so I had a brake put on it and the smith got it off center and ruined the accuracy plus the muzzle blast was horrendous and shatter your nervous system after 5-10 shots.
 
I have both zeroed, the S&W 629 is 1" high at 50 yards.
The T/C Contender 375 Win is dead on at 100 yards with the Sierra 200 gr FP pushed with 36.0 grs RL7 in a trimmed 38-55 Win case.

Really like the looks of that 4x on the 44 revolver!

Shooting well I assume?
