If both guns are in equal condition, I would do it and not look back.

HI Mr. Miyagi, I did the deal last night, both guns were in excellent condition, My friend lucked out I found a box of 20 rounds of 480 ruger !!! I already own a CZ 75, but this CZ 85 has adjustable sights, and is very accurate !!! also one of the five boxes of ammo, was 50 rounds of FEDERAL HOLLOW-POINTS !!

You made a good trade. The CZ-85 is one hell of a pistol. The Super Redhawk is also a fine hunting revolver but not much good for anything else, not to mention .480 Ruger never really caught on (Ruger already discontinued it), and ammo already costs a fortune and will only go up in price.

Plus, you just scored one of the most valuable guns you can own, one that doesn't have a paper trail leading to YOU!

Yep... Good trade bud, I'd never have used the .480, and the CZ is a nice pistol. I'm not really a Ruger fan. Had an M77 in .308 Win and hated it, the trigger sucked, and the darn thing couldn't shoot groups smaller than 2".
