With all the calls and e-mails received from guys asking us to repost pictures of our Ruger - SUPREME HUNTER revolver in 44 magnum, here they are....
Yes, we still build these - one gun at a time...
Any questions, just ask!

Hi Dave,
I guess by now we have shot over 2 thousand rounds through my SUPREME HUNTER you built and if you count all the varmints as well as the edible game we have shot with this gun, it has accounted for over well over 600 kills. We have killed prairie dogs, deer, javelina, mule deer, pronghorn, jack rabbit and a few other odds and ends with this pistol and it has become by far, the most popular hunting pistol in camp. We shoot a couple diffrent bullets in this gun and on a good day at the range, we can empy a cylinder full of cartridges in a pop can at 100 yards and after copying you, we can kill the dreaded gallon milk jug full of water at 200 yards without much trouble at all.
James

Hi James,
fantastic shooting and hunting on your part - as well as your buddies  ...
One of these days, when the weather cools off, we are gonna have to do a little more shooting together. My range is only 300 yards long but we can still get in a little shooting....

Hey guys....
Been drooling over Mr. White's work for quite a while now. I've been saving my pennies and finally am able to endulge myself.
I recently sent my 10" SBH to The Master for some Supreme Treatment.
I can hardly wait to see the results.
Saying I'm a little excited is a major understatement. Getting a new gun is always exciting, this will be that and much, much more.
Mr. White's work is nothing short of amazing and he opperates at the highest level of presicion. His pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail shows in everything he does.
I'll report back once ol' "Boomer" comes back home....
Oh- and congrats to Teddy Bear on the new additions to the stable! Woohoo!
Cheers!
-kevin.

Kevin,
You will not be disappointed when "Boomer" returns. The one I own is a superb piece and is a blast, literally, to shoot. It always draws a crowd at the range.

Got 'Boomer' back home last night, after some drama with our local postal dork....long story, it's over.
So.....rejoice!
First I want to say how well the gun was packed. Extremely nice touch!
It was wrapped in bubble wrap, then taped, then ditto that several more times. Then into a heavy-duty USPS Express box stuffed with craft paper and double taped all over. This thing was super well packed and I doubt even the Airlines could trash it. Took me several minutes of careful unwrapping to get the lil guy outta there...folks at my local shop I had it sent to were really eggin' me on to tear into it.
I don't think so kids, slooow and easy.
It was worth the careful unpacking time... it was like Xmas and everyone was full of ooh's and aaahh's. Lot's of ooh's and aaah's.
Here's a short list of stuff that was done, from memory (goodie list is at at home)-
Bushnell 2-6x32 scope
Custom Weigand 3-screw base
Burris Signature Z-rings
Custom brake- machined so nicely you can't even find the joint with a fingernail.
O/s locking basepin
Trigger job- no scale but it is NICE, very little take up for a trasnfer bar type and it snaps- clean. His classic 30oz job.
Lapped bore and nice shiny-looking chambers and throats!
The pawl's **CLACK** seems way more robust and got a few people's attentention. Not what was done there or not...but it sounds and engages very nicely
Dehorn of action body
David even re-set the scope indexes to zero after testing, very nice touch. Word is it's grouping 2"@100y with standard factory stuff off of bags.
He was really hustling to get it back to me before I went on vacation and he really came through. Thanks!
His attention to deatail and level of expertise shows.
He's a master of the fine art of Gun Smithing and, I'd recomend him to anyone. Anyone.
Many thanks to D&T Custom Gunworks. Because of you I've got a wicked new pistol. Evreytime I open the case it's just breathtaking, for me and everyone that sees it.
Excellent job, David! (pardon the fuzz and finger prints....sorry)

Stovepipe,
That's ONE AWESOME PISTOL you have!!! I bet you can not wait to do a little plinking with it. You will not be disappointed!!!
For some reason it looks just about like mine. Maybe that is because David did an outstanding job building mine. It is literally a BLAST to shot, pun intended.
When you go to the range it will draw a crowd. Take lots of ammo as several people will want to give it a go.
Enjoy your new piece,
Bear

Copy that, Mr. Bear.
I think we belong to a pretty exlcusive crowd now.
And yes, these pistols will draw the crowds like bees to honey.
I'll do a shoot w/ some pics and another write up on it when I get back in a couple of weeks.
Take care ya'll!
-k.

Ok, sorry for the long wait ... my press has been down due to some die issues.
Finally - Got Boomer out for some testing and a shakedown.
It was pretty dang hot and windy so I made do with what I had.
I also didn't have much time to shoot as there was a rim-fire contest hot on my heels and I had to clear out of the range on our sportmen's club property so.... here goes.
I stuck a target out at 100y just to see what I could see. It was nice being able to actually see the target again for a change.
I was high and right but the group was under 2" for two shots.
I moved it back to 50y as the target kept blowing away @ 100y and made my own stand from some stuff I brought from home. After a few adjustments POI was pretty close to POA and you could stack the hits almost on top of each other doing 3 shot strings. I let it cool some between strings and was waiting a long time between shots as the wind was really up. The barrel never got cold but I didn't let it get hot either and like shooting 3-shot strings w/ empty cases in alternate cylinders as the barrel stays a more consistent temp and does not heat-cycle as wildly.
50y is an ethical and realistic pistol hunting range but it's nice to know it's accurate and consistent out to 100y at least. And that will make it fun for long steel's.
I tested a couple loads and it really like my Nos 200gr JHP over 14.0 gr 800x in a PMC case with a Remington primer. The cases I used were identical in dim's and crimped with a LEE FCD.
I also tired a Nos 240gr over 14.0gr Blue Dot, same case and primer, as I had some Blue Dot powder left over and it liked that one too but this load is a little dirty and needs more powder to clean it up. (15 rounds total)
None of these primers showed any excess pressure and they are good, safe START loads.
The 800X was really clean w/ little soot and no ash. (15 rounds total)
I did not test my Nos 240gr JHP over 23gr of H110, same case and primer. But that one is pretty nasty for a start load and kind of overkill. I'm pulling the bullets on that batch of (15) and doing something milder with them since the pistol shoots so well.
The brake really takes the sting out of it and it does not jump off the rest half as much as it used to.
Nice.
Off-hand it's really good too.
Go about 30 rounds off 'till I was shut down and kicked off the range for the rim-fire contest. The RSO was really impressed with the pistol too.
Afterwards we had a BBQ and stuff and I displayed the gun in it's carry-case next to the entrance to the club house where the food was. Everyone loved it and Boomer got lot's of ooo's and aaah's. He's a hit with the club for sure and I kept having to wipe it down from all the fondling. I made it a point to tell them the brake is not part of the barrel as the seam is so tight you can barely pick it up with your fingernail, if at all. Of course everyone had to try the trigger.
David- if you have some business cards and can mail me 5 or so I'll make sure to pass them out at the next meeting. I'll send you a PM if you do.
Another satisfied customer. The D and T Custom Ruger Supreme Hunter was a dream pistol for me. Dreams do come true.
"Boomer" is a big hit on the range and off.
Thanks, David, blessings to you and the Family.
-kevin.
