I would like to see some pics of the Ruger Alaskan. All .454, .480 and .44 Mags welcomed. For the .454 pics, if you could place a .454 round next to a .44 mag round for comparison that would be greatly appreciated, if not its still o.k :) . If you don't have an Alaskan, a pic of any Ruger Super Redhawk will do.

Here's one of my favorites.

"Author fires the new Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan with various loads. While recoil with full-power .454 loads was stiff, the Alaskan proved to be controllable with all loads fired. Using lighter .454 loads and moderate-to-heavy .45 Colt loads, the Alaskan was downright pleasant to shoot."

Yeah, it sure looks like it.

I just got a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull. recoil with 240gr. Magtechs was not unpleasant. 45 Colts were very mild. the downside is that Alaskans might not be easy to find as I had been looking since March of 06 and the cost of ammo, may have to take up reloading. I don't have any 45 colt ammo left to take pictures of compared to the 454 casull and 44 mag, but the 45 colt and 44 mag were about the same length, of course the 45 colt is slightly larger in diameter and the 454 casull rounds were about 3/8" or so longer.
here is a video of the 240gr. magtechs:

Nice!

I like this size comparison myself. Really puts things in perspective.
