I am glad you found one.
The Bisley 4-5/8" 480 is in the top of my favorite list as an outdoor companion revolver. I really like the revolver and the cartridge.

I assume you need to send them your gun for fitting? You assume correctly! Lets see... First, it was the Gun Digest book of Hunting Revolvers. Then, the purchase of a Ruger Super Redhawk, in .480 Ruger. Then, an Ultradot red dot sight. Then, reloading dies and components for reloading .480 Ruger. Then, the bug to get a Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley, .480 Ruger. Now, I may have to get some custom grips for it- plain old factory wood probably won't cut it. You are costing me a lot of money!
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

You did not list arm-twisting. So, I assume you aint crying too hard yet. 
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Get back to us when you have to have TWO or more of EVERY firearm you own to be able to say you have a "spare".
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

And that would be why you would want two- one to shoot, one to put away and wait for it to appreciate in value. Or, buy one for $800, shoot it for awhile, sell it used for $900.
I've done that on several occasions, with Ruger Bisley original Vaqueros, Winchester Mod. 42's, S&W Model 63's, Beretta Cheetah .22 semiautos. You won't get rich, but it's nice to make a few bucks once and a while on your firearms purchases.

A good value is when the price box is smaller than the value box.

With the find of a Ruger SBH .480, the Big Bore stable is growing. Took all these to the range, shot and cleaned them up, and posed them for a pic. Shooting these boomers is WAY too much entertainment! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/lZ9V4CE.jpg)
