Is the .480 Ruger Going Away Again?

[brandoninaz]

CDNN just held a sale on their .480 Super Redhawks for $599. Hopefully some of you got in on it, as I see they are out of stock already.

Is this a sign that Ruger will be stopping .480 SRH production again? Or is this just a seasonal shift in production? Anyone have any information? I noticed there are very few guns listed in .480 on Gunbroker right now, nothing like it was a few months ago when it was full of new models.

Whitworth will be the one that can answer that.

I can tell you I bought one of the new ones and it's a fine gun.

[brandoninaz]

I have an old one, and I love it. Saw the CDNN ad and bought one of the very last ones. Don't foresee such a nice revolver going for that low of a price again. I passed up that amazing deal on the 50AE BFR's they had a while back, and am still kicking myself for that one. Didn't want this to be the same deal. *kicking self again*

Not as far as I know. They just brought it back, no sense in letting go now.

Thanks, Whitworth. I'm sure hoping it sticks around fora bit, because I'd really like to see some used .480 Alaskans pop up at a decent price!

BTW, I enjoy your books, nice work. I would rather do any chore in the house or any math or science problem before I would sit down and write a paper, much less a book, so I appreciate what you have done that much more.

Just making room for the 480 SBH's

I have my fingers crossed for a Bisley Blackhawk.

I've been buying brass, bullets and dies preparing for the day when I can afford a 480.

It better not go away now!

The .480 Rugers aren't going away
