If you haven`t already and you don`t mind your rifle having a little history you might want to take a look at the Civillian Marksmanship Program (CMP). They often have very respectable deals.

I`ve been trying to ignore those guys recently as they`re about to release a bunch of carbines.....
Do we have any CCW members here? I`ve been looking for CCW classes to take and there`s a ton of instructors around me. How did you guys choose who to go with?
House of Wax- Please check your PMs.
My pleasure.
Just got into a pretty cool (and potentially dangerous for the wallet lol) group on facebook. It`s basically a gun raffle. Every day a new firearm goes up, X amount of "tickets" are allocated at a certain price, and once they`re sold out and paid for the guy runs the list of names on random.org 3 times to pick a winner. For example the one I bid on today was a S&W M&P15 rifle....330 spots at 3 bucks a pop. They`ve had a run of guns I really wanted lately....probably going to have to block the group for awhile haha. Neat idea though
It`s awesome to see the collision of my 2 favorite hobbies- and a great group of guys who are fellow gun owners.
Here`s one of my newest range toys:
Smith and Wesson 686 Plus, 3" barrel
with its friend, the TOPS Knives US Combat Knife.
The knife makes the gun look small

That is a big knife lol
Houe of Wax- Heh heh, if you`re not careful you`re gonna start, uhn...Accumulating a whole lotta stuff via that raffle
craigdt- Nice Smith, especially like that 3" tube! Accumulatorette has one in 4" (converted from a 6") but hers isn`t that nice (and newer) Plus model. Good choice on the Hogue stocks (assuming that`s what they are..) and I like the new-style cylinder release.
Love my 686 also. My favorite to shoot is my Dan Wesson Point man. So easy to shoot and it is just SMOOTH! Even I can shoot groups inside of 2" from 25 yards consistently. Carry a Sig 938 Extreme everyday.
Accumulator, correct me if I`m wrong but weren`t the Plus and the 6 shot cylinder both available at the same time as an either or depending upon barrel length?

There are 5, 686`s in this pic. Two of them are the Plus model. There`s also a 629 (44 Magnum) and a 619 (Target .22 LR). The .619 is incredibly accurate and so easy to shoot with a Red Dot on it. My daughter has emptied the 10 round cylinder at 15 yards, shooting free hand and kept it in the size of a dime. It is obviously one of her favorite firearms.
I agree completly with BSkip333 on a Dan Wesson (have one in the suitcase with 4 barrels) being a smooth shooter out of the box. That said, none of these S&W`s are "out of the box". I also believe that Dan Wesson has some of the finest bluing around, they`re every bit as nice as Colt. S&W hasn`t produced real quaity over the counter bluing in the past 30 years. Hence this stainless pic. I have some nicely blued Smiths but they`re late 70`s early 80`s and before.

I believe that`s correct.
At the time (a couple years ago) I had a hell of a time tracking the 3" Plus model down.
Finally found one online at Buds Gun Shop after looking all over the state and everywhere else online
