I actually just got one back yesterday from another member on this forum (Tinker) who did some work for me. It is a Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt.. One I wear when checking cattle in the forest and mtn. areas... replaced the factory barrel with a more accurate custom and had him put a gold front sight on for easier sight acquisition in darker areas.. as in timber and getting charged by a bear Looks really nice..

I might replace the walnut grips on it for something a bit bigger and more rubber like (Pachmayer). I am not a big person but have big mits.. The little factory grips feel too small and awkward in my hands..especially if I add a couple more grains of powder to the reloads..

I have not shot it yet however Tinker stated it was shooting exceptionally well with a load he cooked up..so, I will start there ..




Yes we are rather jealous of you cousins across the pond, get all the good stuff & lots of it to play with. Glad to hear you have something that fits the bill in dark areas Ripp, might have been a bit small for the buffalo charge but it only takes one good aimed shot!

As to Tinker doing the work for you....half your luck!!!
One very aptly named gent
