There aren't many revolvers that let you run a genuine rifle cartridge, and the Magnum Research BFR in .30-30 Winchester is one of the few that does it right. This is the long-frame version of the Big Frame Revolver, built entirely in the United States from stainless steel with a cylinder long enough to swallow the .30-30 case. Out of a 10-inch barrel, the old deer cartridge picks up serious velocity for a handgun, giving you flat trajectory and plenty of authority on whitetail, hogs, and black bear at realistic handgun hunting distances. And since it feeds on the same ammo as your lever gun, keeping it stocked is about as easy as it gets.
The barrel is cut rifled to precision-grade standards, and it shoots well with both lead and jacketed bullets, which matters if you like to work up handloads. The rear sight is a fully adjustable LPA unit paired with a fixed front, so you can dial in your hunting load precisely. When you're ready to stretch things out, the frame comes drilled and tapped and Magnum Research includes a Weaver-style scope mount in the box. Add a pistol scope or red dot and you've got a legitimate 100-plus yard hunting handgun.
This model wears the Bisley-style grip frame with white polymer panels, a setup single-action fans swear by for managing recoil. The lower profile hump rolls the gun into your hand instead of letting it kick straight back, and it makes long sessions with full-power loads far more pleasant. At roughly 5.3 pounds with a 17.5-inch overall length, there's enough heft here to soak up recoil and steady your hold off sticks or a rest.
The BFR line has built a reputation as the strongest production single-action platform out there, and the .30-30 chambering is one of the most practical in the lineup. Whether you're a handgun hunter, a silhouette shooter, or just someone who appreciates a big stainless sixgun that does something different, this one delivers.
Yes, and it's set up for it from the factory. The frame comes drilled and tapped, and a Weaver-style scope mount is included in the box. Pair it with a long eye relief pistol scope or a red dot and you've got a proper handgun hunting setup without buying extra hardware.
Better than most folks expect. You lose some velocity compared to a rifle, but the 10-inch barrel still pushes standard 150 and 170 grain loads with plenty of energy for deer, hogs, and black bear at typical handgun hunting ranges. It also shoots flatter than most traditional big-bore revolver cartridges, which makes hits at distance easier.
The Bisley grip frame sits lower and straighter than a standard plow-handle single-action grip, so the revolver rolls into your hand under recoil instead of driving straight back. Most people who spend real time behind hard-kicking single actions prefer it for comfort and control. On a gun like this, it makes extended range sessions noticeably more pleasant.
It's one of the most practical options in the whole BFR lineup. The all-stainless build handles weather, the cut-rifled barrel is accurate with lead or jacketed bullets, and the adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your exact load. Add the included scope mount and ammo you can find at nearly any gun counter, and it's a very sensible field revolver.
