Hello to all!
I've been wanting a .45 Colt Ruger for hunting/heavy load plinking for years, and always wound up putting it off for something else. I've decided that I'd really like to pick one up. I'd like the Bisley frame, and a 4 1/2" or 5 1/2" barrel best, and I'm pretty sure I'd like adjustable sights. This all ads up to the Bisley model, I guess.
I hear a lot about the throats being improperly sized...should I check for that at a dealer, or just expect it and deal with it after the purchase? How would I check for it at the dealer? (I have a set of dial calipers for reloading, and a set of mics as well.) What's the best way to get my chambers/throat/barrel/forcing cone all taken care of?
What upgrades are necessary to have a good and reliably operating piece for heavy load shooting. I don't plan to shoot it a whole lot, as I'm a very active Highpower Rifle competitor and that takes a lot of time. However, I would still like a reliable piece.
Thanks for your time, ya'll.
