The Hunter Pac was offered in all Magnum calibers from 22 magnum up through 445 Supermag (even the 375 was a catalog item). The Hunter Pac contained the following items:
Dan Wesson Revolver with an 8″ Vent Heavy Shroud.
A Vent 8″ Shroud (only, no extra barrel), equipped with Burris scope mounts and a Burris scope in either 11/2x-4x variable or 2x fixed.
Barrel changing tool
Dan Wesson logo patch
Carrying case

Hunters Pacs were identified by an “HP” before the model number and then a “V” for variable scope or a “2” for fixed power scope. Below are examples:
HP22M-V = 22magnum blue with 1 1/2x – 4x scope
HP744-2 = 44 magnum stainless with 2x fixed scope.

Just copy 'n pasted from Jody's "What Model Do I Have" thread. Very enlightening and useful knowledge .. worth a read, when you get a moment.

10" for the longest SM barrels. Don't know about the other question, but I believe those longer barrels were like batteries...sold separately.

Hey decoyme, all this info is already posted on the forum .. just do some searches.

Ironically, I already answered your question in a thread that you previously started titled "Twist Rate".
