Just wondering....
Has anyone seen, fired, or owned an EAA Bounty Hunter (especially the .44mag model.) These look pretty interesting to me and the price is very nice. And yes, I know about EAA's customer service rep, but all that aside, what do you think.
My understanding is that they are a Colt sa clone with the Ruger bar safety. They are also supposed to be pretty beefy and built well for the load.
I'm not a handgun hunter, so the whole purpose is just for fun at the range hunting paper and steel with a big bore round. I"m sure I will rarely shoot the .44 mag, but will definitely shoot my fill of .44 special loads. I roll & cast my own so the cost for ammo should not be an issue. I also like the Ruger Blackhawk in .44 special, and certainly the improved sights are nice, but there is something about the Colt style single action that catches my attention. Also, the Bounty Hunter in .44 magnum is about $140 cheaper then the Blackhawk. That's a big difference to me. The Bounty Hunter also comes in the .45 colt, but the .44 mag is somewhat heftier which I prefer.
Thoughts?
