Trade older Vaquero set for newer set?
I bought my Vaqueros when Ruger only offered the larger size. They are .44 Mags. I would love to have a set of the new models, preferably in .44 Special, I don't think I've even loaded a magnum in the chambers. I have a couple of Smiths I would use for hunting if I wanted the power of the Magnum rounds.
Should I try to sell my set and buy the small framed set and eat the difference, or does anyone suppose someone would want the larger framed set? Michael |

You might be able to find somebody who is really looking for a set of the older ones because Ruger no longer makes a 44mag Vaquero.

I think Ruger is only making 44spcl in the Blackhawk model. I don't think they make any 44 in the smaller New Vaquero.

Welll...I dunno. A good matched set of 44Mag Old Vaqueros might fetch decent coin. It's a fairly desirable caliber in OldVaqs and some people like the bigger guns and/or want to shoot 44Mag.
I would recommend checking prices on the SASSWire classifieds, Rugerforums, maybe gunbroker and the like, see what they're going for. The NewVaq isn't yet shipping in 44Spl, although it's a distinct possibility next year. They've taken the same "mid frame" size gun in adjustable sights and created a 44Spl out of that, so building 44Spl NewVaqs would be a snap. Right now it ships in 357 and 45LC.
