I had a friend once ask me, several years ago, what sidearm I might recommend he carry as a backup on his Deer hunting and / or Hog hunting trips. I told him the Ruger Super Redhawk in stainless, with 7-1/2" barrel. At the time, he found a great deal, whereby he purchased it for $700.
He has never regretted that and always considered me to have made a great recommendation for him. Not long ago, I sent him information on what that Revolver sells for now, which made him feel even better about his original purchase price.
