Newly Minted and Newly Arrived

.480 Ruger Bisley with 4 5/8-inch barrel.....

Haven't shot it yet, but will soon.

Looks good! Might have to get myself one.

Very nice.

Is that Production or has it had custom work done to it?

Looks Production though.

Special early edition for you, Max, or are they officially "on the market"?

I really, really, really, don't like you!!!

I WANT that gun. Have one on order from Lipsey's through my LGS.

Still waiting.......

Very interested in your report.

That is one sweet looking piece of steel and wood.....

My Lipsey's dealer has one one his wish list for me. I don't care what barrel length it is. I want one.

My LGS is getting a 6.5" version in tomorrow. But, I'm trying to hold out for the 4.6" flavor.

Must..........be..........strong!

Very nice!

Bet you are sweatin' bullets eh Zee...Sorry I just had to say that.

Here's a better photo to ponder:

Nice!
I have never pulled the trigger with anything in a 480 before. I guess I need to widen my horizons.

Damn.

Ok, I need an opinion.

Should I get the 6.5" or 4.6" gun in this cartridge?

I already have the 6.5" in .454 Casull. But then, I already have a 4.6" in .44 Mag and a 5.5" in .45 Colt. So, "need" has nothing to do with it.

Either barrel length will be used for a hunting gun.

Which one do you suggest?

not that it helps, but a gun in the hand is worth two in the lgs

Which is a real consideration as to why I'm tempted to jump on the 6.5" when it comes in today or tomorrow.

Who knows if or when my LGS will ever get a 4.6" barrel.

:panic:

You know, I like 'em both. I just shot this one and while I have a long way to go to get familiar with it, it shot pretty well. This group was shot off the bench at 20 yards with Speer 325 grain Gold Dots.



I like both barrel lengths to be honest.

Think I'll jump on the 6.5" barrel.

Maybe if and when a 4.6" shows up............I'll be able to afford it as well.

Why pass on a good gun, no?

I like your way of thinking!

I see how you do, keeping secrets and all. Nice looking piece, appears to be a shooter as well.

Nice looking gun and nice shooting.

Not a secret! Lipsey's announced it quite some time back, I inquired, and a week later I have gun in hand.

Looks like a keeper!

Well, I bit on the 6.5" barrel.





She is in "purgatory" now until I get her out.

I'm happy.

They said they still have the short barreled one on back order as well. And will advise me when it arrives.

Ouch! That's gonna hurt.

Max and all,
I think you guys did a good job of enabling/encouraging!

Excellent! Well done Zee! I am looking forward to your shooting reports! And then, hunting reports!

I'm blaming this one on you.

Haha! I accept!

It's so good to not be the blamed enabler this time.

Hey Ernie....When you getting a new .357...Enable-enable....
