Description
There is something about a single-action rimfire that never gets old. The EAA Weihrauch Bounty Hunter takes the classic cowboy revolver formula and pairs it with .22 LR and .22 WMR, thanks to two interchangeable cylinders that come in the box. Swap between them in seconds and you can plink all afternoon on bargain .22 LR, then drop in the magnum cylinder when you want more pop for small game or just louder fun.
Full-Size Frame, Rimfire Bill
What separates the Bounty Hunter from most rimfire single actions is the frame. Instead of shrinking everything down to a scaled toy size, Weihrauch builds this one on a full-size frame, so it fills your hand and handles like a big-bore sixgun. That makes it a smart practice piece for cowboy action folks who want to burn rimfire ammo while keeping the same grip, hammer reach, and sight picture they get from their centerfire guns. The 4.75 inch barrel keeps the balance quick and natural, with an overall length of 10.5 inches and a weight around 2.6 pounds thanks to the alloy frame.
German Craftsmanship in the Bounty Hunter
Weihrauch has been machining guns in Germany for generations, and the fit on these revolvers reflects it. The action locks up with a crisp, positive feel, the blued finish is deep and even, and the walnut grips give it that proper old-school look. You get traditional touches like the resting notch on the hammer, but the design also adds a transfer bar and recessed chambers, so the safety side of things is thoroughly modern.
Why the Bounty Hunter Earns Its Keep
This platform has been sold in the USA for more than 20 years, and it sticks around for a reason. It is a low-cost-to-feed, fun-to-shoot revolver that works for teaching new shooters the fundamentals, casual can-rolling sessions, or riding along as a trail companion. Simple to load, simple to clean, and easy to enjoy every time it comes out of the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EAA Bounty Hunter 771110 come with both cylinders?
Yes, this model ships as a convertible with two cylinders, one for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR. Swapping between them takes just a moment, so you can run inexpensive .22 LR for practice and switch to magnum when you want more punch.
Is the Bounty Hunter rimfire built on a smaller frame?
No, and that is one of its biggest selling points. Weihrauch builds this rimfire version on a full-size single-action frame, so it feels like a big-bore sixgun in the hand. That makes it great for cowboy action practice or for anyone with larger hands who finds compact rimfire revolvers cramped.
What safety features does the EAA Weihrauch Bounty Hunter have?
It keeps the traditional resting notch but adds a modern transfer bar, which means the hammer cannot strike the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled. The chambers are also recessed, so case rims sit protected inside the cylinder. You get the classic look with modern peace of mind.
Who makes the Bounty Hunter revolver and where is it made?
It is manufactured in Germany by Weihrauch, a company with a long reputation for precise machining, and imported by EAA Corp. The Bounty Hunter line has been sold in the USA for more than 20 years and has built a loyal following for its solid lockup and clean fit and finish.
