My idea of a varmint gun

This is a Colt New Frontier, in .45 Colt:

It, to me, is the ultimate Colt Single Action.  Medium frame, good adjustable sights, and 7 1/2" barrel.  I've seen them in .357 Magnum, but they are rare.  And here is a Ruger Three Screw Blackhawk in .357 Magnum:

Actually I like Ruger's XR-3RED grip frame better (bite my tongue!) than the Colt grip.  This gun is made on the medium frame and is about the same size as the Colt.  This is a fine gun but there are still "wants" in my craw.

 

I've long envisioned a 7 1/2" barreled, adjustable sighted .32-20 Single Action revolver, either one of these would do. But for, say groundhogs out to maybe 100 yards or so, wouldn't something like this be dandy?  Maybe even coyotes?

Have you looked at the Ruger single seven in .327 mag? Can shoot the H &R 32 mag, and the 32 S & W long and short. Might have to get one of these myself. With 7.5" barrel , custom loads this thing should be a joy to shoot, for old crippled hands.

With all due respect, I'm hardheaded, just ask my wife.  I want the .32-20!
