Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself and say congrats on a great site!
I just purchased a used FA 83 .454. Field Grade. It looks like it was shot very little. No cylinder "ring" showing wear and no scratches anywhere on the frame.
It came with a Mag-na-brake, a Nikon 2-6X32 mounted on a T'SOB and numbered cylinders. I paid $1100 for it which I though was a steal.
I took it to a friend's farm to try it out and all I can say is...WOW!!
The gun has great potential. I can shoot it better than any gun I've owned in the past. Even with me flinching, not so much from the recoil, but from the blast and concussion. I think once I overcome this the gun will shoot much tighter. By the way, I was getting 2.5" groups at 50 yards.
I live in Texas and can't wait to try it on some hogs.
Happy Hunting!
