44 mag SA with modification = 2lbs 10.9 oz (stock trigger spring)
45 SA without modification = 3lbs 3.2oz, with mode = 1lb 6.1oz (wolf trigger spring)

Poor boy's trigger job

Is anyone of you familiar with this mod? And if so is it reliable? I did it to my new Ruger and it does make the trigger action lighter....

Or I can slip my new 22 SA Ruger into the holster :D :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/George/22LR/22LR-1.jpg Of course it needs tuning, and a bit of polishing to keep up with his bigger brother Mr.45 but that's only a matter of time. A set of Wolf springs, and a bit of rubbing ought to do t...

Here's a pic of the new holster but since I can't fit a square peg in a round hole it looks like I'll have to buy a little 22 Ruger revolver to complement my 45 :D

Well, I went to visit my buddy today (the one who sold me my Vaquero/holster) and I had a surprise waiting for me. Another holster just like the one he originally sold me, only this is not a cross draw. Plus an Alpine spotting scope. He told me he wasn't using them any more so he felt they should go...

You are right john fox, these pistols were designed to shoot 250gr bullets I just happen to have a couple of thousand 200grn LRN for my 45 ASPs that's why I'm using them.

Johnfox, so far I've experienced POA is close to POI with 200gr LRN and 8 gr of Titegroup. Still a little low but much closer...

SD you're gonna love the red dot/Mark II setup. It's as results oriented as anything gets!

Looks like I'll be able to dial mine with 250gr bullets and max pressure load.

Well folks, I did a bit more shooting yesterday and I do believe my MarkII likes the Federals better than the Remingtons. The upper target was my last of the day because well it was a great time to stop since I don't believe I could ever top it :lol: Please understand I am not bragging here, after a...

Bullseye, thank you for the explanation. Actually I believe the real culprit is the Rem HPs I've been feeding my Mark II but it shoots them so accurately I thought I'd try to solve their FTF issue once and for all. Maybe I shouldn't bother....

I had to purchase a value pack (box of 500) of Remingtons about a year ago because that's all that was available to me at the time so am just trying to burn through them. I won't buy them again that for sure. Federals are cheap as well but my Ruger likes them even though it doesn't shoot them as acc...

Bullseye, I have a "tunned" RRA trigger in mine and love it. I believe the one I installed in my friend's AR was a Jewell but I'll have to verify. Didn't like his as much as mine in that the trigger pull is heavier...but it breaks cleanly at least. Yea, my Mark II seems to like shooting the Remingto...

Here's my first Vaquero target at 10 yards. I used my reloads which were 200gr lead RN over 6.5 gr tightgroup. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/George/Vaquero/VaquerotargetJuly222007.jpg Unfortunately at 25 yards my groups opened up because I can't hardly see the target any more. These 4 reloa...
