[QUOTE="bronco, post: 694846, member: 48575"] I don't have anything bad to say about Taurus revolvers that are set up as hunting rigs. But I agree with SUBMOA on the Ruger or S&W recommendation. However, I think S&W is overpriced these days for comparable quality to other manufacturers. A Ruger Super Redhawk with a 7.5" barrel would be a great fit for a beginning or an accomplished handgun hunter. They come with pretty decent adjustable sights and also have an integral scope mounting system. For scopes, a 2X Leupold is hard to beat, but if you like more power or anticipate shooting out to 100 yards you might consider a 2-6X variable. Hornady Custom XTP--JHP ammo in whatever grain weight patterns best would be great for deer. The Ruger is a couple hundred dollars more than the Taurus, but I think you would be happier in the long run. [I] Be Aware! Handgun hunting is addictive and your other guns will have to be treated for rust as they start staying in the safe a lot more![/I] :cool: [/QUOTE]
