I live a couple miles away, I might swing by and look at it.

I don’t see engraving?? And I’m curious why the rear sight is cranked over far right?? I’ll bet with a regular grip it’s a hand full. Anyone know the significance of Sables 2006??

MATCH GRADE ARMS WAS A FELLOW OUT OF HOUSTON, KNOWN MORE FOR MAKING LIGHWEIGHT BOLT ACTION HUNTING RIFLES THAN CUSTOM REVOLVERS.
HE WAS A REGULAR EXHIBITOR/CONTRIBUTOR AT THE SCI CONVENTIONS. THE SABLES IS A SCI LADIES AUXILLARY SO THIS GUN WAS OBVOUSLY A DONOR GUN FOR A SABLES BANQUET/FUNDRAISER.
EARLY THIS CENTURY I WAS ON SAFARI IN MOZAMBIQUE. MY PH HAD A LIGHWEIGT MGA 458 LOTT AND THE SYNTHETHIC STOCK CRACKED IN THE HAND GRIP AREA. IN MY KIT I ALWAYS HAVE SOME GOOD QUALITY ELECTRICAL TAPE SO I WRAPPED THE CRACKED STOCK AND PROBLEM SOLVED (FOR A WHILE ANYWAY). SOME CALIBERS JUST AREN'T NOT GOOD CANDIDATES FOR LIGHWEIGHT RIFLES.

It'd be cool to know the story. It appears as an identical copy of a Ruger, right up to the five shot part.

According to the serial number it started out as a Ruger 45 Colt shipped in 2006.

That would be a handful with that plow handle grip in 475 ... "Ouch" is what comes to mind
