Yes it is the weaver mount with Leupold rings. Probably have fired 100 or so rounds through it with no POI shift change. Using full power 210 grain hand load.Heck yeah !!!!!
Got it done very well.
Is that a Weaver mount you are using ?
Been looking at options for a flattop Blacktop and was wondering how that one has done for you.

Sweet!My 6 1/2" model 657-2 is on my hip for the rest of the season.
It's 1 of 500 made. Serial #237.
It has a few notches on the handle, but needs another.
My reloader's manual says my hot .41mag hand loads are faster, flatter, and carry more energy than a factory 44 mag.

Elmer Keith’s classic book “Guns & Ammo for Hunting Big Game” has an entire chapter devoted to handguns for big game. He tells the entire story about the development of the 41 Mag with some cool photos.There was once an excellent article in Shooting Times magazine about the 41 magnum revolver as a hunting weapon.
Great reading for any .41mag fan...
I saved the magazine for years, but don't know its whereabouts now. If anybody could dig up a link to this, I would love to read it again. (You would too.)
Late 80's or early 90's I guess... The author said that he guessed this is really what Elmer Keith was aiming for when he developed the .44 magnum.
I have one like it but need to make a bullet mold for it.Shot about 65 yards. Old Blackhawk did good.View attachment 1058530
