Which is the best option for carrying on hunting and backpacking trips and possibly a little hunting: The Beretta Stampede Bisley, THe Ruger Blackhawk Bisley, or The Ruger Vaquero Bisley??? I need the bisley grip because I've got pretty big hands.

have to say either of the rugers, preferably the blackhawk. Say that for the coil sprigh set up of the action and the adjustable sights. But this is a personal pref.

I'd go with the Ruger Bisley Vaquero in Stainless Steel. I shot them in Cowboy Action Shooting, and they work very nice. I had .44 Magnums and I still have .45 Colts.

They are very durable. The fixed sights are no problem if you load your own ammo for hunting. AND you don't have to worry about them being bumped out of alignment.

blackhawk.
the newer vaqueros are only designed for the older colt powered loads as are i am sure the barettas.
the sights will be better too.

Well, the Blackhawk Bisley has adjustable sights.

Ross Seyfried packs one as his main CCW and everything gun these days.
