When precision, durability, and proven power matter in the field or on the range, a handgun needs to combine solid construction with sighting and ergonomics that support repeatable accuracy. This review breaks down the features that make this large-frame revolver a top pick for hunters and serious shooters who want a stainless, single-action platform optimized for .44 Magnum performance.

RUGER NEW MODEL SUPER BLACKHAWK BISLEY HUNTER

If you want to move from generic specs to actionable detail: this RUGER NEW MODEL SUPER BLACKHAWK BISLEY HUNTER is built on a full-size stainless frame with a satin stainless six-shot fluted cylinder and a heavy 7.5-inch ribbed barrel engineered with integral Ruger scope-ring cuts. The barrel is rollmarked “RUGER HUNTER / SUPER BLACKHAWK” and the cylinder is rollmarked “.44 REMINGTON MAGNUM,” making compatibility with .44 Special obvious.

Design and Sighting Features

The Hunter-series rib accepts Ruger-style scope rings straight from the factory profile, simplifying optics mounting for precision hunting setups. Iron sights remain useful for close work—Ruger retained a ramped front with a red/orange insert and a fully adjustable rear for windage and elevation. The full-length ejector rod housing and grooved/crescent ejector button aid fast, reliable reloads in the field.

Ballistics and Handling

The 1:20 RH twist rate is optimized for standard .44 Magnum bullets, giving stable flight for heavy-for-caliber projectiles commonly used for hunting and heavy defensive loads. .44 Magnum delivers deep penetration and strong terminal performance on medium to large game, while the option to shoot .44 Special offers reduced recoil for practice or lighter applications.

Action and Safety

This revolver is single-action-only with an external hammer and includes Ruger’s transfer bar safety plus a loading gate interlock. The rounded trigger guard and Bisley-style grip geometry (as configured on Hunter models) provide comfortable recoil control and predictable trigger breaks for deliberate, aimed shots.

At a street price of $1500.99, this model balances premium materials and machining with long-term serviceability. For purchase details and current stock, Shop this product on our store page.
