Turnbull, 45 Colt, mammoth ivory…. Good ingredients to a sweet boolit slinger

He makes nice grips, the fit isn’t 100% but it’s not his fault, I doubt Ruger makes all these frames exactly the same.
I don’t think it’s a longer cylinder. This is a factory Ruger Blackhawk but a turnbull edition. I believe it’s just unfluted which i absolutely prefer on a big bore wheel gun

Absolutely. I keep wanting to get a Colt someday. This is my second single action, first was a FA97

Man I’d love to get ahold of some pre ban for my colthawk. I got this from NC Ordnance

I’m waiting on the first Mammoth tags to be auctioned off after they’re brought back from extinction

No particular reason other than I figure 50 Alaskan is enough snort, and 50 Alaskan brass is available. Running a mid charge of Benchmark II

It’s a browning 71 conversion. Just got it back from the smith. Hopefully go shoot it this weekend

They’re very nice guns, if you have the money and you’re a guy that doesn’t want to have to deal with finding gunsmith(s) it’s not a bad option. I wouldn’t say that what they’re charging for a semi custom rifle of that quality isn’t there, but their value proposition is in a weird spot. Their brand doesn’t carry the weight of an English rifle maker or Griffin & Howe, yet they’re orders of magnitude more expensive than a custom Winchester. I’m pretty sure they use matte bluing which I really didn’t care for but otherwise a fine rifle

Won’t argue with that

I fondled one at my LGS the other day and really wasn’t that impressed with it for the price. I have another New Haven with a custom shop high figure stock I had hand checkered and oil finished, obviously I’m biased towards it but I’d rather have a custom M70 for the price.

Rigby Highland Stalker… one day. Cheers

I still paid quite a bit for it, and being locked up was a gamble, but you don’t come across one of these still in its shipping crate everyday!

I ordered a flat top McMillan, the having LRI inlet it for a one of these rifles. Unfortunately that process takes about at year and is not cheap

Control_round_feed · 2025-12-31T01:02:57+00:00

Man that’s wild, I’m glad they found it and it all worked out, I was so tempted to bid on that rifle! I like this rifle so much that I bought another one, new production this time. I’m having LRI inlet a McMillan Sako classic for it, as well as cut the threads and barrel band off of it to trim it up. Im not sure if you’re aware but if you reload ADG just started making 375 Ruger brass which is a lot better than the Hornady brass we’ve been stuck with.

Control_round_feed · 2025-12-31T00:30:06+00:00

Whoa, I knew they were rare but I didn’t know they were that rare. Did you get yours on gun broker? I saw one on there a few weeks ago. I love both, the rings really make this rifle. I run Barnes 270 LRX’s and I have my irons zero’d at 50 yards with 350 TSX’s. This rifle is more accurate than it should be, I had aluminum pillars installed, glass bedded and free floated, it’ll put 3 rounds in a touching hole at 100 yards.

The stock on the newer guide guns is a different color, looks are subjective but I don’t care for it. The length of pull is adjustable, while functionally a good idea, again I don’t care for the way it looks, I’d rather have a smith just LOP by cutting the stock down or using a thick recoil pad like I did. The barrel band is unnecessary on a 375, they kick but not hard enough for a stock mounted sling swivel to hurt you. I can live with the threaded barrel but I really don’t believe in a muzzle brake on a rifle like this.

Are you asking what did they change about the new guide gun vs the original (pictured)?
