Raymond, yes Sir, the Ruger Vaquero is Legal in CA : Single-action revolvers that have at least a 5 round capacity with a barrel length of at least 3inches and an overall length of at least 7½ inches are permitted. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf
Yes, many of the restrictions listed for Buds' are what you can and cannot buy and transfer into CA if you're a resident. Sounds like you don't live there, and either way this pistol is good to go as single action revolvers are not subject to the handgun roster. Just transport it unloaded and locked in a separate compartment of your vehicle while traveling and you should not have issues.
