Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk® (Distributor Exclusive) in 454 & 480 Ruger

I'd like to shoot one, and when Ruger first announced the .480, I cursed them for bringing it out only in the SRH, when Bowen Classic Arms was making .475 Linebaughs out of Ruger SAs. My .44 Vaquero with heavy loads appears to be far more demanding to control, if those were full powered loads, the recoil in the video looks more like a .357. If the recoil is, as I suspect, proves to be a bit more dynamic, I doubt that the factory adjustable rear sight will stand up (I had one fail on a .44 SBH) so I'd swap it out with Hamilton Bowen's Rough Country rear sight, which uses opposing screws for windage adjustment, rather than a single adjustment screw and a spring.

Here's a Bowen .500 Linbaugh Ruger conversion where they installed a S&W .500 barrel and the gun wears the Rough Country rear sight . . .
 
The 5-shot Blackhawk Bisley in 480 Ruger would make a very nice companion for my BFR in 500 Linebaugh.

How can we get a few of these brought into Canada ??
