300wby,I'm on my second SRH in 454 Casull.I bought a new one with a 7.5" BBL.There was a problem with the cut outs for mounting the Ruger scope rings.The ring made bad indentations (cuts) in the cut outs on the frame.Ruger agreed there was a problem and scraped my gun. I asked if I could get a 9.5"bbl instead. They sent me the 9.5". It's a nice shooting gun,but is heavy. Shooting the Casull is very pleasent considering the power of that cartridge.It's very manageable but you do have to hang on to it.I think you'll be very happy with the SRH in 454 Casull.I would recommend it.
