"RUGER SINGLE SIX CONVERTIBLE"

This is a single-action revolver that shoots 22 Lr and 22 mag ammo. It has a satin stainless finish with rosewood grips and adjustable rear sights. It was a special run revolver with a 4 1/2" barrel (I called Ruger to verify this).

Well, off to the range with four boxes of ammo in 22 Lr, Sk jagd standard plus and pistol match, 22 mag CCI maxi-mag hp 30gr and Remington 30gr Accutip-v. With a target at 15 yards, I started with the 22 Lr cylinder. The adjustable sights were dead on. After 18 shots of each 22 Lr ammo, the pistol match worked best. Now I switched cylinders to 22 mag. It took some sight adjustment to rezero, again after 18 shots of 22 mag the Remington Accutip shot best. All of the above shooting was done off hand. Next I shot at 25 yards off a dog-gone-good-bag rest using the 2 ammos that shot best while standing. I shot 12 shots with each. Groups were great. The only thing I would have changed is the sights. My old eyes need a brighter sight picture. A fun gun to shoot and great for new shooters. No recoil, easy to load and single action. You just can't pull the trigger.

Always be safe. Know whats behind your target.
