EAA Bounty Hunter
« on: January 04, 2008, 09:03:06 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with an EAA Bounty Hunter revolver?  They have a pretty good price, but I'm a little worried about the quality of the gun.  It has fixed sights so I'm affraid it may not shoot to POA.   I have an EAA 12ga. coach gun and it's a pretty good quality gun so I'm hoping their revolvers are of the same quality.  I'd like to hear what you guys have experienced or heard about these revolvers.  If the reviews are good, I may just have to get one in 357 or 44 Mag.

thanks,
Ken

KenSel, I don't have one of the center fire Bounty Hunters, but I do have one of their full sized .22s and am very pleased.  My local gunsmith has sold a few and his customers have been very satisfied.  44 Man

I had one in .357 and it was a darn good gun. A friend did manage to break the tip off the trigger by fanning it but I don't consider that to be the gun's fault. They are well built guns of good steel and conventional design, not a Ruger but better than most of the Colt clones from Italy or South America.

44man and coyotejoe -  did they shoot pretty consistently to point of aim?  would you consider them accurate enough to hunt with if shots were kept to 30 yards or less?

In evaluating any firearm, accuracy is my top concern and while I can't quote group sizes because that was quite a few years ago, I sure don't recall having any complaints.
