This includes the hammer, trigger, cylinder release etc. Parts not finished in camo are a very nice durable flat matte black. Of course the Anaconda has all the inner workings you would recognize from all other colt anacondas and pythons. I have been told that colt did sell some of the guns without the optic but with irons instead. You can see from the picture that the Anaconda did have the ability to add iron sights to it though this example did not come with them that I am aware of. First is a very nicely recessed target crowned muzzle. The base and rings are very sturdy as anything holding a scope to a 44magnum handgun would need to be. But I can not offer up any reason why some are, some aren’t beyond speculation. I have seen some of these guns with matching camo rings. You can also see the scope rings that hold the optic one. They did give you some one of a positive adjustment and beat the Leupold friction plate which I detest. The elevation and windage adjustments are vintage Redfield style. It is clear and as durable as every other Redfield 5 star optic I have used from that era. I find it is just enough and not too much. The variable power in that range is very useful for a hunting pistol in my opinion. The scope of course came with the Redfield flip up scope covers.Ībove you can see the 2x-7x power ring. Now the company name is owned by Leupold and of course that speaks for itself. At that period of time, Redfield was a well thought of and quality maker of weapons optics. The optic is a then top of the line 5 star redfield. While I have this rare animal we will take a look at it in some detail. And I am not a fan of commercial hunting camo patterns.
In fact I have only seen two with my own eyes counting this one.Įven in picture you can see the camo finish is very nice and rare enough for my tastes, pleasing to the eye. The gun is rare enough to not be well known even in the gun world.
Whitetail” Larry Weishuun.īeyond the revolver and optic is also came with a colt belt buckle, Zippo colt Anaconda lighter, original Team Colt Realtree heavy duty canvas carry bag and matching bandoleir holster. This was a collaboration between Colt and Realtree (Bill Jordan of Georgia), with design assistance from famed Wildlife Biologist, “Mr. rubber grips, base and rings, with the optic and gun finished in Real Tree camo. The gun came from the factory with the 8inch barrel, a Redfield 5 star pistol optic. This limited edition was made in only 1,500 examples supposedly and was truly a “system”. The Anaconda being a larger framed ( for 44mag) version of the Python.
In 1996, Colt came out with what is now a very rare variant of the most excellent Anaconda revolver.
