Shooting metal targets down at four distances.
Simple as that.

I looked at a number of offerings from Taurus but the QC seems to be a
50/50 gamble. I want 617s for teaching so I want quality and reliability
and SS is a must. In all my research, 6 or 10 rds. doesn't seem to make
a
difference in quality or reliability. I would have thought the 6 rd.
would
be more robust but the 10 rd. has less inertia on the moving cylinder so
it beats-up the lock less. They are a dream to shoot and extremely
accurate. If I could only have one firearm, it might very well be a
617.
I'll just have to get a few of each and find out for myself.

If you want light weight as the other poster seemed to indicate the old
H&R
922 is decent and hold 9 rounds. Not worth much beyond 10-15 yards for
accuracy (well, mine isn't) but it is a lot of fun too shoot. I have
noticed it seems to be slightly more accurate when freshly cleaned. My
old
RG .22 was like that too. As far as reliable, I think my 922 is about 75
years old. When I pull the trigger it goes bang.


And if it is like the one or two H&R's I owned it is a mighty heavy
trigger pull too.

When shooting double action it is pretty heavy.
