Taurus 44 mag pricing question

They got in. 4" tracker. Asking 550. Wanting to try deer hunting with one so I was actually looking for longer barrel. They have a rough 629 for a grand

I have been looking for a 4" and found one with a black oxide finish and no hammer lock so I assume its older for $600. Is the black oxide a good finish vs the new satin stainless. A new satin finish is about the same price.

I doubt you are going to find a much better price than that for any new 44 magnum, and that appears pretty good compared to other Taurus's online.

I personally like 4" to 6" barrels, and in particular 4 5/8" (blackhawk), and 5" barrels. Since you say you wanted a longer barrel I did a quick Gunbroker search and found this nice new Blackhawk with a 6 1/2" barrel in 41 magnum. With their aluminum frame they are slightly lighter than the 44 magnum super Blackhawk. They are phenomenal hunting handguns, one of the best ever made.

Alternatively I found this used super Blackhawk 44 magnum 7 1/2" for a really good price

They offered me a new in box Taurus 8 3/8 ported $675 out the door. Not a satin finish fan but I believe I'm in.

If you don't buy it I'm sure someone else will. Magnum revolvers are very much en vogue right now.

Well I picked up the 8 3/8 Taurus. $670 out the door. What do y'all think of scope mount such as this? https://www.brownells.com/optics/rin...nt-for-taurus/
