I bought this to replace my Freedom Arms revolver as my Texas Hog hunting big bore. I just turned 70 and am finding 454 full house loads are now a bit much :-) This one is the Target Grey finish with the wood panel grips, which I prefer. The heft and weight of the Super Redhawk does a much better job of handling recoil than my Freedom Arms did. They come with the receiver dovetailed for Ruger rings if you wanted to mount a scope. $1,150 + $50 Priority Mail from my FFL to yours

It makes the 454 pretty easy to handle.

Really pleasant with hot 45 Colt loads.

Yes, with the beef of these revolvers, you could load a 45 Colt to just about any strength you wanted.

I have the same gun. It’s worth the price just to see everyone’s face at the range when you touch off a full power 454 round. With regular 45 Colt ammo it hardly kicks.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

You could always buy this one. As Yogi would say, it would be Deja' Vu all over again :-)

Nice revolver. I have a couple 454 Casull revolvers (one of which is a Ruger Super Redhawk). Yes, they are a handful but they really put the smack on whatever you are shooting. The fact that can you can also fire 45 Colt ammo is a real plus making the revolver versatile. If I didn't already own a couple, this one would be mine.

The 454 was my favorite revolver caliber when I used to Hog hunt at the ranches down near Kerrville. Lots of fun!
