Do you remember this firearm?

[padowser]

The firearm I am interested in knowing about is a Ruger .44 Magnum. It is stainless steel with a longer barrel...I am not sure, maybe 7.5, but perhaps longer. I think it was a Blackhawk.

This firearm was sold as a package deal, including: a red dot scope, leather shoulder holster, and I think a case.

The package was a special order and I think it was available sometime during the 1980s. I think the adds for it may have appeared in the NRA magazine.

A friend of mine, now deceased, had such a firearm. He had been living out of state. I would be interested in any details that someone might know about this particular "package deal".

Maybe one of you own one, or perhaps you can recall the advertisement for it. I would really like to see a scan of the add if anyone comes across it.

Thanks,

Bill

I seem to remember a silhouette model, with a 10 1/2" barrel, that, I think, came in a similar package, but can't give any other info on it.

I believe the Hunter Package came out around 1986. The sihouette model was for the IHMSA.

Welcome to the forum!

Did the gun look like this?

That's a Hunter model, with the Bisley grip and hammer. No scope, obviously.

Thanks. I always liked the way the grips from the knife sorta matched those on the gun.

The knife is a custom made Ranger RD-7, btw. I had him make me one with a hollow ground, uncoated blade. That sucker is 1/4" wide at the spine, and the 7" measurement is just the sharpened part...

It could have been a Super Blackhawk hunter...big, stainless, single action...I just recall it was sold in a package with the red dot scope and the sholder holster.

Nice gun Sammy.

Ruger had a stainless Redhawk package in cahoots with Aimpoint. It had a 7.5" barrel, Pachmayer grips with a red dot on them, an aimpoint mounted on it, and a leather holster with one or both of their names on it I believe.

Thanks, Rum....I think that is it. I wish I could find the old magazine add for that package.
