New toy time

S&W 1854 in 44Mag
Cheek riser and Simmons WTC 1.5-5 added.

Single hole groups at 25yds last night, action is rough but brand new so should smooth out. Loading gate is v.stiff so ordered a Ranger Point Precision replacement in a nice shiny red

1854? Ugly bit of kit.

Gun shaming!!

If I was woke I'd report you to the Hurt Feelings police

who imports those?

How well does it shoot?

Hi Adam

Only put 25 rounds through it so far, 10 to sight in and give the barrel a bit of a run in.

After that it was shooting 3/4" single raggy hole 5 shot groups, using the same load as the Henry with ShellHouse 240gr RNFP bullets.

I've stripped it down and given it a good clean & lube, just waiting for a reduced pressure loading gate to arrive next week as I have big fingers and prefer them not to be bitten

I do wish it had the same mag tube loading option as the Henry but it is what it is, I just fancied a change.

Fit and finish is very good

@Monkeyhanger - Sportsman Gun Centre Ltd is listed on the S&W site as the UK commercial distributor

If you took the scope off and the recoil pad maybe I could get away with it. A bit of overkill for 25 yards me thinks. But its your choice if it floats your boat go for it. Not my cup of tea.

They'll never replace pistols......

Tidy. Do the insides resemble a Marlin?

Nice But does it come with box magazines?
