Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns A tale of two .41 Magnums

I was at a local gun store picking up a gun I had shipped to them and while I was waiting I spotted two scopes pistols. Both are Rugers with a 2x Leupold on them. I think I like them, yeah I know, get both. The first is a Super Blackhawk Hunter for $799


Next is the Redhawk for $779


I have not researched to see if the price is good or bad yet but I like them. I was surprised the Redhawk is lighter than the Super Blackhawk. I guess I am used to the Super Redhawk. I am really tempted by the Redhawk

Both are pretty sweet. I'd lean towards the RH myself-they're my favorite Ruger revolver. The prices on both would be solid on the BHH and a deal on the RH in my part of the country.

I’d be on the RedHawk.

Hock what you have to... get the $$ ... buy both .
You will think about it , too long and too much, if you pass on one or both.
You know you deserve both hunting guns. Who else should have them ?

Get both, it's a no brainer

This is an interesting conundrum, considering that these handguns can stand in for rifles at reasonably likely distances. Sell a long gun maybe?

Yep they would both be coming home with me....if I had to pick one it would be the Redhawk only because I dont yet own one in 41. My buddy who owns a shop puts any used large bore revolvers he gets in aside and texts me, as he knows ive been on a hunting revolver kick recently and he was taking at least $1k/month from me prior to the plandemic.

Both would be good.

I would buy the redhawk.

I’ve shot a BHH 41 identical to that scope and all a good bit and it’s and accurate thing. A buddy hunts deer with it exclusively.

That said, I prefer the recoil impulse of a double action grip frame.

Yep, the Redhawk!

Redhawk. There should be a $200 price differential, but there ain't. Redhawk.

I’d vote for the Redhawk too (that’s a good price with the scope).....both should be accurate. I have the Blackhack in that configuration and it is incredibly accurate (although in all fairness the Redhawk I have (using irons) is also very accurate- although not in the league the BH is in).

p.s. so that Cooper is going to end up costing you more than you thought?!!😉

I am going to pass on them since I am trying to find a CMMG Banshee 10mm

I don’t have a 41 Mag Ruger but have both of these Rugers in 45 Colt. I tend to load them safely but heavy. I prefer the way the BH handles the recoil with heavy loads. YMMV

I have been hunting with the .41 mag for over 30 years. My original was a 7 1/2" Stainless Redhawk with a 2X Leupold EER Handgun Scope. I have a 4" Stainless Redhawk that I cut down from a 5.5" and I have a 2" Taurus. I handload for all three.

I didn’t pass on the hunter......I’m weak........

Glad you got it. Just picked up a CMMG 10mm and the Redhawk is still there and still tempting
