Hi Bob,
Ruger built two different Vaquero revolvers. The earlier, while still a New Model transfer bar revolver, was built on the same size frame as the Blackhawk/Super Blackhawk revolvers. They were suitable for +P type reloads and specialty factory rounds. The newer Vaqueros are closer in size to the P Frame Colt Single Action Army and are more suitable for standard .45 Colt pressure loads. Also many of the older .45 Colt Rugers had undersized chamber throats that caused leading and accuracy problems. Prices for a new Vaquero usually run from a high of 5-600 to lows of 350-400. The fixed sights of a Vaquero can be challenging, both from a point of aim-point of impact issue and also from the less than optimum, esp. for older eyes, sight picture. I have both an older Vaquero and a New Model Blachawk in .45 Colt. Both have 4 5/8" barrels. I reamed the throats on both pistols, installed free spin pauls and spiffed up the triggers. Both shoot roughly the same sized groups from a bench rest but in the field I do by far the best work with the Blackhawk. If you want to read up on them a bit go to http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/
