I've been looking for this model for awhile, I like to purchase in person. Very rarely purchase firearms off web sites or auctions. I finally found one at Cabelas but I wouldn't wish their purchasing process on anyone. From start to finish was about a hour and fifteen minutes. I guess I'm just used to my local gun shops, in and out in 15.
The whole process cut into my trigger time so I will be able to test drive it and zero it today. It should be fun!

I like it! Is that a new gun, or was it used? I've been trying to find one in 480 Ruger for a while now. Haven't looked that hard, but I always keep my eyes open. That should be snappy to say the least.
I won't buy any guns from Cabelas for the same reason you gave. I bought my Kimber there a few years ago just because I had $400 in Cabelas points to cash in. It took more than an hour. I can be in and out of Mary's Pistols in less than 15 minutes! I did pickup a Leupold Mk 4 ER/T 8.5-25x50 TMR with the M5 turrets at Cabelas today. Got it out of the Bargain Cave for about $1600. Every once in a while you can pull a deal out of Cabelas. The rest of the time they're just over priced.

It was new, I believe they got three in. I had been waiting quite awhile.

What I have found is the NICS check that takes forever. But I agree, the whole process takes time.

Love it. Nice looking gun. I want a Super Blackhawk Hunter Model with the 7 1/2" barrel.
Let us know what the recoil is like.

That's a pretty *censored* looking gun.
Do you know the weight on it? Looks like they built it heavy... Assuming to reduce felt recoil.

They are very heavy! LOL They need to be with the 44 454 and 480. I have been eyeing the 44 for awhile now. They are super solid and lock up nice.

A gun that small in a caliber that large makes my wrist hurt just looking at it. Post back though to let us know if it recoils as bad as it looks like it will.
I have a soft spot for ruger redhawks though. First handgun I ever fired was a super redhawk .44 magnum when I was 8 or 9 and I fell in love despite almost dislocating my trigger finger on the first shot. Is one of the few revolvers on my wish list. I have toyed with the idea of getting a super redhawk in .454 casull but if I do it's gonna be the longest/heaviest version available.

Since we not heard back from the op would it be safe to assume that he either fired it once and is now hiding it in his safe, or that he is recovering in the hospital after the recoil detached his hands from his wrists?

I would guess hammer will be just fine with the recoil considering he posted pics last year of his bloody shoulder after a range day with his 450 ultra mag. He must be a glutton for punishment.
