Wanted 44 Mag Revolver w/ 8 inch Barrel

[bersaguy]

I'm looking for a friend of mine that has been a close friend for about 20 years. He is wanting one to try and do some deer hunting with one. He stopped by today and ask me if I knew anyone that may have one they want to sell and I told him I would post a Wanted  post on TGO and give me a couple days. If I do't find him one he said he would probably buy a new one so if anyone has one to sell send me a PM.

The Ruger Super Red Hawk is good.  Only 7.5" bbl, but I killed DRT at 80+ yds with mine.  Mine is this - https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/70252/Ruger+5501+Super+Redhawk+KSRH-7+6RD+44MAG+7.5"

Dad has one in .454 Casull that also works well.

Thanks Robert for the reply and I think he is going to get one from Bud's as he cannot find one used.

Something to consider is if at all have him fire a few models befor he buys one. I sold a Ruger BH 7.5 inch not long ago and still have a 6" S&W 29 and SAA JP Sauer in 5.5" . The grip style and barrel length make a huge difference in recoil as you may know. The big Redhawk's are kittens to fire compaired to a Black Hawk and that can make the difference in a clean kill for a lot of shooters. But now just how much weight is he willing to carry around since a Redhawk tops the scales in a 44. Good Luck!

I think he did settle on a Red Hawk. I have a buddy that has one and my friend went to the range with him and let him shoot it and he did well with it as he had never shot one till that day. He told me that is what he will most likely purchase. Thanks for the input folks!!!
