They're not bad guns. In a lot of ways they're similar to the Old Vaquero: they have modern transfer bar safeties and are built on a 44Magnum-class frame.
If you're on a budget, it fits your hand and it passes checkout, go for it. If you can get a Ruger at around the same price or a bit more though, I'd recommend that. Far better support from Ruger, far better aftermarket support and parts availability (both stock and "hot rod").
I did some digging on these years ago. Apparantly the original tooling was German, from JP Sauer (now merged with Sig-Sauer). The original design was quite good. Since then the tooling has kinda "bounced around" and been used by different outfits, even different European sources under the name "EAA" which is basically an importer, not a real builder. Which means, depending on the exact era of your piece, quality control may vary some. It's a lot like the situation with the Charter Arms tooling in America...the design was sound, when done right they're damned fine guns but at times, they sucked wind.
(My late-70s Charter Arms I believe to be as good a gun as S&W ever shipped post-WW2, at least in the era prior to the 357Mag J-Frames.)
Anyways. Bounty Hunters. I don't think I'd pay more than $250 for one, past that I'd look for a used Ruger for a bit more. But if it was affordable when a Ruger wasn't and it passed the checkout inspection, yeah, go for it. I'm pretty sure CAS/SASS classes them the same as a Ruger Vaquero or Colt SAA if that's your thing.
