Default Happy Father's Day to Me...

A local gun shop had this, never fired Ruger .44 Mag, 50th Anniversary Model that had never been fired...He wanted $460 and I offered $400...He took it, then I turned around and bought $80 worth of .357 and .44 ammo...

I have a Blackhawk in .357 that I love to shoot...I've just added shooting a deer with a pistol to my "Bucket List"...Fortunately he also had Hornady's in .44 Mag loaded with the 240gr XTP...

Gonna take a long lunch break tomorrow and put a few shots down the barrel...I can't imagine someone buying one of these and not wanting to shoot it...

nice weapon there. I have the 7-1/2 inch Redhawk in the same caliber. Excellent revolvers.

Ruger makes some nice revolvers. I have a super redhawk and a gp100. I planted a food plot this year next to some 6ft pines. One of my goals this year is to take a doe with my pistol this upcoming season. 357 ammo is getting rare. 44 is still easy to find online.As long as i can buy 38 special my gp100 is cheap to shoot. Thats a good price you got on that pistol.

Mine is a .41 Mag Bisley Model with 2X glass. From a rest it will shoot six-inch groups at 100 yards (on a good day anyway).
