Decided to put my 4X scope back on my S&W 29-3 with 8 3/8" barrel. I used to shoot about 300 rounds a week through my 44's and could keep good groups at 75 yards. Now I live about 45 minutes from my range on the family's property. Just can't quite see the iron sights like I used too could either. Picked up some Winchester 240 grain soft points, have not had any free time to reload. Had issues with this scope last year slipping in the rings, so picked up another set. I forgot how hard it is to shoot a pistol with a scope, every time your heart beats you can see it move lol. Here is my final 5 shot group at 75 yards. Was sitting with shooting sticks since I always hunt from the ground with a pistol and use sticks. First round I let get away from me a little high. I personally set my my range at 75 yards cause that's as far as I can keep all rounds in a pie plate from field positions. The old model 29 is still an accurate old gal.
