A Super Blackhawk (in Bisley or standard flavor) would be my suggestion. They can be had reasonably priced, and they tend to shoot well. For me at least single-actions point better than double-action revolvers and frankly a DA doesn't offer any real advantages hunting. That said, you can load the Ruger a lot hotter as well if the need/desire arises. JMHO.
