    Same here, and I sold mine years ago. Maybe it is a sentimental thing.

    I had an AR-50, they are great guns. I suggest you get into reloading if you want to get proficient, hehe.

    He is building/buying a 338 lapua and is debating on selling one of his 3. For the right price I might pick it up.

    First off, are the .44 Anacondas considered as nice as the pythons? I have always wanted a anaconda.

    Also whats the difference in a King Cobra .357 and a Python?
    No, they are not the same quality of Pythons. They are known for being accurate, though. The Anaconda's also look great with the full under lug. In my opinion the Smith Model 29 is a higher quality pistol for .44 magnum, but again the Anaconda is a beautiful gun. The King Cobra is the cheaper replacement for the Python. The Python was discontinued because it was hand built in the custom shop, they weren't making money on them towards the end (Even at $2,000-$10,000). The King Cobra came later to replace it with a less expensive machining/assembly process. The King Cobra operates on a very similar action design to Smith & Wesson revolvers. The Python operates on the old 1890's Colt action with the two hammer blocking safety mechanisms. The older design was felt to be superior in terms feel and silky operation. However, it is more susceptible to wear in comparison. It's said Colt could produce 10 King Cobra's in the time it took to tune the action on one Python. They are all good guns, but not as nice.
