Hey i was at my local gander mountain and saw a ruger redhawk .44 magnum with a scope mount already on it going for 399.99 the serial number says that it was made 2003... is this what the normally go for and what kind of things should i check before i buy it...

That is an Excellent price ! Just need to make sure it Locks up Tight , so not too much cylinder play....and check the bore...

it feels pretty tight there is no back and forward play at all and it rotated about a 1/16 of a inch either way is that good??

[Mooseman684]

Is that with it cocked or Not cocked ???...

[FeLiX]

cocked might not be that much but it does iggle a tiny bit

[nathangdad]

the gun before purchasing it? This may be a longshot but if you put down some type deposit maybe something could be worked out.

If the gun is good it is well worth this price.

[Mooseman684]

I would hope it is not 1/16 inch of play and more like 1/64 inch of play, when cocked...It could be tightened up a bit if need be By a qualified Smith ! What would you say it is Condition wise ?

That gun is in at least 98% shape, with an excellent bore, and virtually no movement when locked up. There is no topstrap cutting, and only slight drag lines on the cylinder. It's already been inspected and test fired by a gander gunsmith and comes with a 1 year warranty. It includes the ruger rings and box, and has probably not been fired over 50 times.

Felix, I thought you already put this on layaway last night?

[Mooseman684]

That is a Bargain !!!

I was shocked when I saw the price tag. I helped Felix compare this with a really nice Super Redhawk. If I didn't already have a Super Blackhawk, a 29-2, and a T/C Contender, I would have jumped at this myself.

lmao cold queso which one where you the younger guy that took my money... lmao anyways i just had to ask my friends at gunandgame they have never gave me bad advise and you should have told me that you were on gunandgame and not just a sale person i would have shut up and bought it...

[FeLiX]

well it is on layaway till my permit to purchase come's back... i dunno how slow maplewood is when it comes to getting them done but ya it will be mine

[cold queso]

Felix, I was the old guy that came over and used the bore light to check the topstrap. You got a really nice gun at a good price.

Good luck on the acquire permit. I submitted mine to Woodbury on August 29 and I'm still waiting as of tonight....

[Mooseman684]

^ Now This is Funny !!! LOL
That is a Beautiful pistol from what I can see in the picture !!! That Gun up here would fetch another 100 -150 Bucks !

oh wow august 29th? that is 6 weeks or so is woodbury always that slow. maplewood said that it would be 2 weeks or less to receive mine in the mail..

What is the scope? Is it an actual scope or a red dot sight? A scope is worth more in the store, but a lot of hunters prefer a non magnifying red dot sight.

It really doesn't matter much at that price. I paid $600 for one that was just a bit nicer than that with a Leupold silver scope attached. I got it from a licensed dealer at a show. The price is great. If you decide you don't want it after the waiting period, there are probably a few guys here who do! Nice find!

[FeLiX]

there is no scope included but there is the rings included.... and btw I am not gonna change my mind
