Super Redhawk

mballai
I was at a local pawn shop that I have bought from before and they have this in a 44 mag with the 9.5 barrel for 299.00 BUT, it looks like it has been under the front seat of BUBBYs truck for 2 years. It is kinda beat up, question is can the thing be shined up or should I just grab it at that price and be happy.
Thanks Rich

    I was looking at a lightly used 44 Super Redhawk w. 9" and a nice Leupold scope. The trigger feels rather smooth for a Ruger. What's your overall impression of these in terms of accuracy--I'm sure the durability is not an issue with a Ruger.

    THEY KICK!!!!!!! other than that they are fine and as with just about any other ruger they shoot good.

    Me no know, me no care, me push little red button and run like hell.

    The barrel should actually be 9.5"
    I have one with a fixed 4x Leopould that you really have to take care installing the scope tightly in the rings and really crank down the rings in the notches in the top strap. I installed Hogue finger groove grip like these http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=6811761(not mine) really helped. And I love the smooth trigger pull it's almost scary when you havn't felt a great trigger before, although it's still more accurate single action. I reload some Nosler 300gr JHP on slower powder and they group real nice at 50 yards. I paid 425.00 for mine with less than 50 rounds through it and the scope was 175.00

    I own one with the 9.5 barrel and I second the kick part.It is a resonably accurate gun and heavy.I had a scope on mine but removed it after about a year.I bought a holster and carry it during deer season along with my hunting rifle.

    If you like to pull scabs off the back of your thumb, by all means buy it

    I don't know what scabs you are talking about......I've shot about 500 Magnum rounds through mine.....never had a problem. I love it.

    The Ruger is a good choice.I've never had any problems,got the 44 and
    the 454 casull.20 rounds of the casull and the 44 feels like a bearcat

    I put a Hogue grip on mine, but took it off. Recoil is not a problem. I shoot 2-300 rounds a week. Never hurt myself. Took scope off, too heavy. Also put a 7 1/2" barrel on it.It feels a lot better.
    Expect recoil from large caliber magnum handguns.

    I was considering something along these lines (.44 mag stainless revolver w/ scope) to deer hunt with would you guys recommend the Ruger over other models? i.e. Smith, Taurus, Colt etc. Thanks ahead of time for your input.

    P.S. And would a guy want a fixed scope? What power?

    I would go for the Tarus. it has a compensator built on it and it does tame the recoil some. I have a tasco aimpoint on mine and can print football size groups off a rest at 200 yds. with reloads 240 gr xtp's over ww 296. do plan to use it on dear when I move to Maine this year.

    matwor: the Ruger Super Redhawk will take more hot loads than any other double action revolver out there , look at the Bushnell Holosight there great , if you really must use a scope Burris makes a good one I like their 2 x 7

    Kick...a Ruger Super Redhawk...you must be kidding! Mike Venturio( I think) writes for Guns&Ammo or Shooting Times, and a quote from the article "the worst kicking 44 mag on the market...S&W Mountain gun"!

    Trying shooting a full mag load thru the high priced 2.5" and 3" model 629's had'em....even before the became hi-dollar & popular guns..and dumped'em...

    I have been shooting 44 mag's for 20+ years and the Ruger Super RedHawk is definitely NOT A KICKER...what'a ya'll smok'n...LOL
