OVERVIEW

Offered here is a classic Ruger Redhawk chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, featuring a 7½-inch barrel, traditional blued finish, attractive rosewood grips without medallions, and integral scope-ring mounting provisions.

Introduced in 1980, the Ruger Redhawk was designed specifically for powerful magnum cartridges, featuring a robust solid-frame construction, triple-locking cylinder, and dependable double-action/single-action operation. The Redhawk quickly earned a reputation for its strength and durability, becoming a favorite among magnum revolver enthusiasts.

This particular revolver, Ruger Model 05013, serial number 501-79613, was shipped from the factory in 1985, placing it among the earlier years of Redhawk production.

It features the desirable wide-rib barrel with integral scope-ring mounting cuts, allowing compatible Ruger scope rings to attach directly without a separate mounting rail. The configuration was offered by Ruger during this production period and provides an appealing distinction from standard Redhawk models.
