being that close on the price i would go with a ruger.the bounty hunter looks to be more of a cowboy action gun than a hunting handgun(adjustable sights,scope mounting options etc.plus we know what the rugers will handle
)i guess the bounty hunter would make a nice belt gun for close up work,but the ruger blackhawk with 4 5/8" barrel does this task well also.(ilove mine)let us know the direction you go...jim257
