There is something special about running a rifle cartridge through a revolver, and the Magnum Research BFR in .30-30 Winchester pulls it off better than just about anything else out there. Built entirely in the USA on Magnum Research's oversized stainless frame, this single action wheelgun gives you six rounds of a cartridge that has been putting deer in the freezer for well over a century. The 7.5 inch barrel wrings respectable velocity out of the .30-30, and the cut rifling delivers fine accuracy whether you feed it jacketed hunting loads or cast lead.
This is a purpose-built hunting handgun, plain and simple. The all stainless construction shrugs off weather and wipes down easy after a wet day in the stand. Up top you get a fixed front sight paired with an adjustable LPA rear, so you can dial in your preferred load without fuss. When you are ready to stretch your range, the frame comes drilled and tapped and Magnum Research includes a Weaver style scope base, so mounting a pistol scope or red dot is a quick job. With a 1:10 twist and 15 inches of overall length, it stabilizes the classic 150 and 170 grain bullets the .30-30 was made for.
This particular model, BFR30-307B-6, wears the Bisley style grip frame, and that is a real upgrade for anyone planning to shoot full power loads regularly. The Bisley shape lets the gun roll naturally in the hand and puts your trigger finger at a more comfortable angle, which pays off over a long range session or when you are shooting from awkward field positions. Recoil in .30-30 is stout but very manageable in a gun this size, so it is a chambering plenty of folks can enjoy without dreading the next shot.
For handgun hunters, silhouette fans, or anyone who wants a big single action with genuine rifle cartridge reach, this BFR is a gun you will hand down someday.
Yes. The frame comes drilled and tapped from the factory and Magnum Research includes a Weaver style scope base with the gun. Many handgun hunters pair the BFR with a long eye relief pistol scope or a red dot, which really lets the .30-30 cartridge stretch its legs on deer sized game.
It is noticeable but far from punishing. The BFR is a big, heavy stainless revolver, and all that mass soaks up a good chunk of the recoil. The Bisley grip frame on this model also helps by letting the gun roll in your hand rather than snapping straight back, so extended range sessions stay comfortable.
This model, BFR30-307B-6, uses a Bisley style grip frame instead of the standard plow handle with rubber grips. The Bisley design sits lower in the hand, angles the trigger reach more naturally, and manages recoil differently, which many single action fans prefer for heavy field use. Mechanically the two versions are otherwise the same gun.
That is exactly what it was built for. The .30-30 Winchester has taken deer reliably for generations, and the 7.5 inch cut rifled barrel produces solid velocity and accuracy with 150 and 170 grain hunting loads. Between the adjustable rear sight, scope ready frame, and six round cylinder, it makes an excellent primary hunting handgun or backup to a rifle.
