About this product
What is the EAA Bounty Hunter Revolver 6.75″ Barrel, 8-Round? It's a single-action revolver built on an alloy frame with wood grips and blued finish, designed for recreational shooting and range use with its extended sight radius and traditional operation. This German-made firearm offers a balance of classic aesthetics and practical handling characteristics.
What is the EAA Bounty Hunter Revolver used for?
The Bounty Hunter is primarily used for recreational range shooting and single-action revolver training. Its 6.75-inch barrel provides a 12.5-inch sight radius that improves accuracy for target practice, while the 8-round capacity allows for extended shooting sessions without frequent reloading compared to typical 6-round revolvers.
How does the EAA Bounty Hunter compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Bounty Hunter differs fundamentally from the Stevens 334 Rifle as a revolver versus bolt-action platform. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers superior long-range accuracy and hunting capability, the Bounty Hunter provides simpler operation and faster follow-up shots at closer ranges under 50 yards, making it better for introductory handgun training.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Bounty Hunter weighs 3.95 lbs (1791 grams) with an overall length of 12.5 inches and barrel length of 6.75 inches. This weight distribution makes it noticeably heavier than polymer-frame alternatives but provides better recoil management during sustained firing sessions.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver is not for concealed carry or tactical applications due to its 12.5-inch length and single-action operation. The fixed sights and traditional mechanism make it poorly suited for defensive scenarios where rapid target acquisition and double-action capability are required.
What's in the box?
The package includes the revolver, one 8-round cylinder, and basic documentation. Unlike some competitors, it does not include cleaning tools or additional grips, requiring an additional $25-40 investment for proper maintenance equipment.
Is the EAA Bounty Hunter worth it at $380.99?
At $380.99, the Bounty Hunter offers good value for recreational shooters seeking a traditional single-action experience. It's $120 less than comparable Uberti models while providing similar build quality and performance characteristics for range use and training purposes.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with .357 Magnum ammunition?
- No, the Bounty Hunter is chambered exclusively for .38 Special/.357 Magnum cartridges. The cylinder dimensions are specifically engineered for these calibers with a maximum pressure rating of 35,000 PSI. Using other ammunition types will cause malfunctions and potential safety issues.
- Does it fit standard holsters?
- The Bounty Hunter requires specialized holsters due to its 6.75-inch barrel length and 12.5-inch overall dimensions. Standard 4-inch revolver holsters will not accommodate this firearm. We recommend checking with DeSantis or Galco for custom-fit options starting at $65.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days for in-stock items to FFL dealers. All firearms require shipment to licensed FFL holders with completed ATF Form 4473. Processing time adds 24-48 hours for background checks and regulatory compliance verification.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Firearm returns are subject to strict ATF regulations and typically require a manufacturer defect for approval. Ironclad Armory offers a 30-day warranty on mechanical function but does not accept returns for buyer's remorse. All returns must go through an FFL holder with proper documentation.
