Ruger 50th Anniversary Flattop 44 Mag question

At a gun show today, traded into a pretty nice one comes with the anniversary box face of the front sight got painted red but that should come off easily enough I'd call it 90% or better, show is SLOW to say the least. Expect to bring it home, What's it worth? Thanks for the input.

I'll give ya $300.

:mrgreen: I'm sure you would.

I paid $350 for the .357 version, used with box. Felt like I got really good deal on it. Seems like I recall seeing the .44 go for closer to $450-$500 on various ads.

I paid $480 for one of the clean up 41 flattops in 2014 when I found it new-old-stock gathering dust in a back corner of the dealers display case.

I have one, don't plan on selling it either.

I've got a few 44's, but a nice one like that, well, to me it's not a shooter and I've got enough guns I don't shoot. I'll try to post something tonight.

Now, that was a standing offer, that I made. :lol:

And don't think I don't appreciate it. I just sent pictures to my son to see if he will be able to put pictures up when he get's off work tonight. No promises. If I can't sell for my number and have to come down that far it would have to be FTF. :mrgreen:

Probably $400. I paid $500 for mine when they first came out but it's been sent to Nevada to become a Bisley .500.

BPJ...you sure do make it ruff on guy that is just trying to buy a shootniron.

This is a private message to Jim Luke, I want you to have an edge. I'll be posting that tomorrow night and my son will add pictures. See, I'm giving you a private heads up so you have first shot at it. By the way, don't tell anyone but I will have an Original Vaquero, Stainless with the white grips and Ruger symbol on them, a Sheriffs model 357 Mag. You will also have a shot at that one. But be quick.

I forgot to mention I'll be posting an original Vaquero 357 mag stainless Sheriffs model at the same time. Nice gun.

I appreciate that special consideraton, BPJ...I do love the inside track on special gun...kind of like insider trading.

I'd think $450. I'd have to have at least that much for mine.

Mine is staying with me. It is my goto .44Mag shoot'n iron when the mood strikes. That said, I if I was in the market to buy, I'd think $450-$500 would be reasonable.
