I thought I would share my new gun....
I just picked up a Ruger Redhawk from a local guy. I found it on a different forum and sold off a gun to buy this. All I can say is what a gun. I took it to the range and I was amazed at how nice it was to shoot. My brother has a SRH with a 7.5 inch barrel and this RH with the 5.5 inch barrel was just as easy/nice to shoot. The recoil was not bad I shot 30 rounds and could of shot more but I wanted to save some ammo for my next range trip. The range I shoot at is not marked well for distance, but I put a target out to about 25 feet and I had nice tight groups and a few bullseyes.
The gun was mfg'd in 03 and has seen little use. It does have one flaw on the frame below the cly release and the rifling has a little bit of light rust. I spend a lot of time with some hopp's and a brass brus and got most of it. I think I can get the rest of it after I get more lead down range and a good cleaning again. The gun was in the case for a while and bone dry. I know revolver dont need much oil, but a little in the barrel could of helped prevent this problem.
Well here are two pics of it.
