I have a friend who is shopping for a single-action .22 revolver - ideally with both a .22LR and .22Mag cylinders. The options I've seen are:
(1) Heritage - lowest cost, seem okay, but may be lacking in quality/workmanship.
(2) EAA "Bounty Hunter" - Roughly $40 more than the Heritage. I don't remember ever handling one - no idea about the quality.
(3) Ruger - Roughly $100 more than the EAA. I've owned one for many years. No concerns about quality, but is it worth the extra money?
My friend isn't looking to spend more than necessary to get a reliable plinking revolver. The ideal situation would probably be to find a good deal on a used Ruger, but barring that, what are the pros and cons of these guns? Are there others he should consider? Any advice and experiences you can share will be much appreciated.
