I love mine!

Great to hear they are really making them again. I always thought .480 Ruger made the most sense out of the Alaskan.

Are the new ones all 6 shots?

I haven't seen one but would have to believe they are. I got a few of the "clean up run" they did a couple of years ago and they were all six shot. I was told then they would never do 5 shot again. To be honest I'm surprised but glad to see these.

Everyone I've seen has been 6 shot, total of seven different sellers in past two days.

Fellow forum member Mike (Acrylictnk) has some.

Any idea if these are back in production or just a short run for parts clean up?

I think new production recent ones available, fired case from one of them was 3-21-14

I was hoping they would bring the Toklat out in 480 or 44.

Looks like it was a pretty short run. Someone could have hit a home run as it appears to be fairly popular but if you think the regular guns are spending these take a jump from there. I was just thinking about buying a Ruger Alaskan 480 and a friend called Davidsons and my price at wholesale was going to be slightly over $800. Just imagine retail!!! :shock: That wasn't for the Alaskan it was just for the regular one and they were limiting sales to 2 guns per dealer. Good news is they are producing the Super Redhawk in 480 but take your heart medicine before you buy. :lol:

Our LGS just ordered one for me and I'm expected to pay $899. What the heck, I can't stand a thought of missing out. Who knows when the next run is going to be.

More Ruger goofy-ness!! The .480 Alaskan isn't on their website or in the catalog so Ruger makes them. The .454 Alaskan is in their catalog and on their website, but they don't make them. :evil:
