Its resting peacfully under a nice warm blanket.
It is a polished SS Vaquero in 45colt.4 5/8 bl. It's in the original Ruger plastic box along with manuel .
It has been fired but now much. No nicks,cuts scratches or bruises. Serial
# shows 1999-2000 mfg.
My son came over tonight and showed me the gun and said if you want this
for your Ruger collection ,you can have it for $XXX.00 .
What you'al think its worth? ??? Played with it a little and the action is still stiff. Very tight lock up all screws lock to be untouched .

They go for $300.00 to $325.00 around here

well.............from various accounts, the "old vaqueros" are reported to be trouble free and much stronger than the "new" vaqueros.

And the old vaqueros at least around here are keeping their value. For a brite polished SS "old" model in excellent condition, i'd say anything under $425 is a bargin.

this one belongs to my daughter.........shoots purty dang good.

Nice!! Plastic box? Must come with the Stainless version, mine both came in the Yellow cardboard box.

deputy125

great looking pair you have there.........

yep, somewhere in there ruger switched to the plastic box for what-ever reason. some say the cardboard boxes over time could abrasive rub the finish off so they switched to plastic.

others say it was strictly a cost/quality control thing................that's a heck of a note.........improved quality control on the boxes but not the guns...

makes sense i guess as the product needs to get transported without damage.

anyways, she won this vaquero at an nra supper.................needless to say it is priceless!!!!!

Any SS Vaquero new or old model in any cal under $400 is a good buy . Even the broken ones Snuffy has Sorry snuffy I can't help myself

...the original Vaquero short barrel may fetch closer to $700...there ain't no more...sure wouldn't let it roam too far...

Thanks Deputy.

I can undestand the box issue since thry use foam in the plastic boxes. When I bought the shot one the shop said it was a special order but they didn't get a deposit and the guy never showed up.
