There are big revolvers, and then there's the BFR. Magnum Research builds this thing entirely in the USA as a magnum from the ground up, not a scaled-up version of something smaller. This model pairs the long-cylinder stainless frame with the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge, a 10 inch cut-rifled barrel, and a 5-shot cylinder. At 75.2 ounces, it has the heft to soak up recoil that would make lighter guns downright unpleasant, and the extra sight radius from that long barrel pays off when you're squeezing every bit of accuracy out of heavy hunting loads.
The Bisley grip frame is the detail experienced big-bore hands look for first. Its lower, more raked profile lets the gun roll in your hand under recoil instead of hammering your palm and knuckles, which makes a real difference over a full afternoon of shooting full-power .500 S&W loads. The white grip panels stand out nicely against the brushed stainless, and the whole package balances better than the spec sheet suggests. The single action trigger breaks clean in the 4 to 5 pound range, and a transfer bar safety means you can carry all five chambers loaded.
Magnum Research includes a Weaver-style scope mount in the box, so mounting a long eye relief scope or a red dot is a simple job. Prefer irons? The fixed black front and fully adjustable rear sights are ready to dial in for your chosen load. Either way, that stress-relieved 10 inch barrel delivers the kind of accuracy you need for hogs, black bear, elk, or anything else you'd point a half-inch bore at.
This is the most powerful production single action revolver made, and it's built for people who use that power. Whether it rides in a chest rig on a backcountry hunt or anchors your handgun hunting battery, the all-stainless construction shrugs off weather and hard use. Buy it once, hunt with it for decades.
Yes, and it comes ready for it. The BFR ships with a Weaver-style scope mount in the box, so you can add a long eye relief handgun scope or a red dot without hunting down extra hardware. Plenty of handgun hunters run this setup and it's a natural fit with the 10 inch barrel.
Full-power .500 S&W loads are stout, no way around it, but this is one of the more manageable platforms for the cartridge. The 75 ounce all-stainless build soaks up a lot of energy, and the Bisley grip frame lets the gun roll in your hand rather than slam straight back. Start with lighter loads or .500 specials while you get used to it and work up from there.
This is a dedicated hunting and heavy field revolver. The .500 S&W Magnum has the horsepower for hogs, black bear, elk, and other large game at reasonable handgun distances, and the 10 inch barrel wrings maximum velocity and sight radius out of the cartridge. It also makes a serious backcountry companion where big animals are a concern.
Yes. Unlike traditional single actions that should be carried with an empty chamber under the hammer, the BFR uses a transfer bar safety system. That means the hammer can't contact the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, so you can safely load all five.
