tracker,
The bore, in fact the last 1" and the forcing cone, the first 1/4" are the most important in revolvers. If the bore in the $385 gun w/ Pachs is "clean" ( no pits ) forcing cone good ( remove the cylinder and inspect with a light, I would go for the cheaper gun. You may want the Pachs ( depends on hand size and it keeps the Dragoon style trigger guard from biting ). Also insure the cylinder locks up tight when cocking the revolver. I've purchased many guns that didn't look the greatest on the outside; however, the bores and actions were excellent and essentially fired only minimally. Also, talk to the shop owner and see if he / she will cut you some slack on exchanging it for one of the other ones if you are unhappy. Like cars, new is nice to have; but, the money you save can go to ammo. No matter what gun you purchase, you need top shoot it a bunch, all positions, angles, lighting conditions before hunting with it. My 2 cents.
