44 sheriff's model worth

[Papalote]

I an talking to a guy about his LNIB 3.75 inch sheriffs model new vaquero. What are these going for these days. Thanks in advance.

 

[HW11]

The last one I looked at was over a thousand. I want one but not that bad.

 

[Papalote]

thank you HW. He is asking 650 for this one.

thank you HW. He is asking 650 for this one.

Buy immediately.

That's a gooood deal.

Do the stainless bring more than the blue guns in this model?

 

[rugerguy]

yes, the stainless is a bit more, buy it at $650 that is a deal ,sold one like that LAST year for a little more, new in the case............

 

[Timbo23]

That's a very good deal especially if is in 'like new' condition and has the original case and paperwork.

$650 is close to retail price from several years ago, but much less than today's price. A regular New Vaquero's MSRP is over $1000 now but 'gun show' price would be lower.

I just checked the Ruger web page and there were NO New Vaquero 44 Specials in listed in current production any barrel length much less a Sheriff's model, so there is that consideration. The only 44 Specials listed in current production were New Model Blackhawk 'flat tops' with adjustable sights.

Also, 44 Special ammo can be somewhat hard to find and expensive, but if you reload once you get the brass you are all set.

I don't know if they ever made any in blue.

 

[Papalote]

Thanks for all the replays. I'll get it tomorrow.

"don't know if they ever made any in blue."

I have a blue one

 

[Papalote]

Ok. I picked the 44 up this morning. Not as "LNIB" as I hoped but very clean. Not supposed to have ever been shot? Cat number NV-443. Model 05146. Ser 510-979XX. Any idea when it was made? Thanks

Any pictures?

 

[Papalote]

If I knew how to post them I would be glad to show it

 

[PRichardson87]

I'm sure one of the mods can walk you through it better than I could

 

[weaselmeatgravy]

I have a blue Sherrif model but not a stainless one. My blue is LNIB but pre-owned and set me back $470 shipped in 2019 when they were still in production or possibly recently discontinued. All .44 Special (New) Vaqueros have been escalating in value since discontinued.

To post a pic, you can just drag the file from the folder on your computer and drop it into a post. Wait until the icon says "Move" rather than "Copy" to release the mouse button. May help to hit a couple carriage returns in the post first and whatever line your mouse pointer is on when you release the button should be where the picture appears.

 

[Papalote]

Ok thanks. I'll take a couple of pictures and try to post them later today

assuming your sn# 510-979XX the "XX" - 01-60.
61-99 is a different model # (05418)

 

[Papalote]

Yes the last two numbers are lower than 60
