The Winchester/Browning Low Walls and CZ 527 (discontinued) are my top picks and what I’d look for if I needed to replace mine. For less money, about half the price of the Ruger, look at the Savage 25. There are also Ruger No. 1s floating around.
Single shots allow you to seat pointy bullets out where they belong. My loads for my LW are about 1.91” using 40gr VMaxes.
If you have a nice 527, you’re a fortunate feller. I doubt the Ruger would be an improvement in any way.
