[QUOTE="VIPBODYGUARD, post: 654814, member: 48568"] Hello, I'm really surprised that I have not come across this COOL site before now. I tried to find some information on my 7.5 inch Ruger Super Redhawk in .480; This is my first Ruger double action revolver and boy do love it. I have always been a Smith & Wesson fanatic. My wife and I no longer hunt due to our age and conditions but we both belong to the Lost Dutchmands and GPAA. Not to long ago in the Angeles Forest while prospecting I was approached by a Black Bear who appeared to be more curious than hungry. I was carring my 3 inch Smith 629 loaded with 250 gr. Cor-bons, not wanting to harm him I used a "Canned Air Horn" which sent him scurring into the bushes. about ten minutes later he was back skirting my claim area. The second blast did not send him as far away as the first one did, so I packed up my gear and left. I later checked into a Smith .500 but was more interested in the Ruger .480 because the idea of that 6th round impressed me to the point that it may make the difference between the Bear eating me, or me eating the Bear. Plus I traded a weapon that was no longer legal in the left wing state of (K)alifonia. it came scoped, accurized to 100 yrds. 100 rds. loaded, 100 not loaded and reloading equipment. I carry in in a chest holster with 12 extra rounds in Speed strips, I can't seem to find any speed loaders for it yet. Rally. [/QUOTE]
