My second FA has arrived!
« on: November 19, 2009, 07:00:50 AM »

It's otherwise similar to the 25th anniversary model except for the engravings; a PG 83 (.454 of course :)) with a 7,5" octagon barrel, white micarta grips, 3lb trigger, overtravel screw and a custom serial number. I like the looks and the way it handles! I wasn't sure how I'd like the balance of a longer, heavier barrel, but it isn't that much different compared to my regular barrel 6 incher (also a .454). You notice that it's a bit heavier, but the difference isn't that dramatic. I got it on Tuesday and I'll probably get to shoot it during the weekend...

My friend got his first FA at the same time. His is a PG 83 .44mag with a 4,75" barrel, round butt with black micarta, 3lb trigger and  overtravel screw. The gun feels excellent and the round butt-option is a great one for the shorter barrel length. If I'm getting a short barrel FA, I'll definately order mine the same way. I can't wait try it out and see how it handles recoil.

BTW, I posted a thread about wondering what to get, but it was so long ago (last winter) that I was informed to start a new one...

And I'm sorry that I haven't got any pictures for you... :-[

Congrats SM! Sounds like Christmas came early for you this year :)! Love the white micarta...would love to see that on the new single shot. Not sure if I will have the funds for "all the bells and whistles", but if I do ... probably will go with the white micarta. Oh but we MUST HAVE PICTURES ;D!!! Sounds way too beautiful (handsome??) for only one person to enjoy :).
