Several years ago I had a weak moment and let someone talk me out of my old model Super Bearcat. I realized I made a mistake the moment I had agreed to the deal. I have looked for a long time for a replacement.
Monday I was out of town on business and during an extended lunch break stopped by a gun store. I looked around and saw some interesting things and I asked the proprietor with whom I've done some business with prior if he had any old model Rugers. He told me he did not and said when he gets an old model it usually sales fairly quick.
I was about to leave when I noticed a glass cabinet that I had not yet looked in. Could it be...a Bearcat in the cabinet (the owner forgot he had it). I asked to see the Bearcat with blued trigger guard. Sure enough it was an old model (un-converted) with serial # 91-4494*. The asking price was fair, but I had still had to haggle. Sure enough he had some wiggle room in the old SuperBearcat and we made a deal. I'll just say it was less than I paid for my first one!
I would say condition is excellent with just a hint of muzzle wear on the left side, but no box. Here are some photos. The grip screw on the right side looks bad in the photos, but I think it is just old oil and dirt. I have not had time to give the old thing a thorough cleaning. Should know how she shoots this weekend.
The red on the loading gate and just above on the frame is from my camera's red eye reduction lamp I forgot to turn off.
