I've been away from the hobby for awhile and want to get back into it. I have always been a Ruger guy and want to start back up with a nice single action. I'm not loyal to a caliber or anything but one popped up and the price seems right.
.41 Mag, Blackhawk, unfired in original box, $350 out the door. It's a 4 5/8 barrel, my favorite, and it's in perfect shape. This seem to be a decent deal or should I continue looking?
Ammunition cost is somewhat of a factor, but from what I've seen .41 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, etc all seem to hover in the same price range for ammo so if I'm looking for a nice big bore single action, caliber would pretty much be a non-issue.
Lastly, it looks like while I've been away Ruger has changed their website, is there a new place to check out serial numbers to get year of manufacture?
Thanks guys,
Ian
