Ruger New Vaquero: interesting data

[Cheyenne Ranger]

I've yet to hold one of these but did some checking on them just the same.  Found out three things:

1) They're coming down the pipeline and are beginning to be more available.
2) Found a pair (not consec. numbered, though) for $815--figure that's a pretty good price; FYI:  was on the Internet
3) Getting the feeling that there are quite a number going back to correct poor quality control.  Don't know this for a fact; could be just those that have sent them back letting everyone know; the ones that work don't get mentioned.

In any event I'm saving my pennies and plan on look HARD about this time next year.  It'll take me that long to stockpile the funds.

I talked to a local gun shop owner earlier this week.  He wont be able to get any of the new Vaqueros until April.  It sounds like it's time for me to head down to Portland, if I want to see one in person.

I'm hoping any 'bugs' have been worked out by end of march.I will get to /be able to/am able to shoot Senior :shock:  then,and think I owe myself/deserve/just plain want a pair of 'em.
Leverfan,John @ Shooters Service Center is getting them,no idea how available they are.He's about 425.00 on 'em.

Maybe some of those ones going back are from loads to a lil bit to hot for what the new ones will take :shock:  :eek:

There's already a thread on the SASS wire about a new Vaquero in 45 Colt having its cylinder split by old Vaquero loads.  I don't know if it's true or not, since I didn't see it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if folks are running into trouble with hot loads.
