The round butt is uber. Very uber. Extremely uber.
I also wanted a custom Ruger, but (for now anyway) decided on this. Mostly because it is simply everything I want in a single action six gun. The Ruger's are nice, but if I were to sell one, I'd lose my ass. In my opinion the FA is a safer bet, and hopefully just as accurate.
I really like those 83's, but I needed something that I could carry all the time, and so when RJM e-mailed the link to this 97, I caved.
If I ordered an 83 it would be in a .44 Mag and round butt and the black micarta. I'd also go 6"-ish more than likely.
