Most people meet the BFR line through the heavy hitters like .500 JRH or .45-70, but this short cylinder model in .357 Magnum might be the smartest one in the family. You get the same overbuilt, all American construction that Magnum Research designed as a magnum from the ground up, wrapped around a cartridge that is easy to feed, easy on the wrists, and flat-out fun to run all afternoon. Since it also digests .38 Special, cheap practice sessions are always on the table.
The frame and cylinder are machined from stainless steel with a brushed finish that shrugs off weather and holster wear, and the 7.5 inch precision grade barrel is built to shoot well with both lead and jacketed bullets. Cast bullet handloaders take note, this one will not punish you for running hardcast. The factory trigger breaks at a clean 4 to 5 pounds, and the Hogue rubber grip soaks up what little recoil the .357 produces in a gun this size. At roughly four pounds, it sits steady on target and makes full-house magnum loads feel downright polite.
A fixed black front sight pairs with a fully adjustable rear, so you can dial in your pet load and leave it. When you want more precision for handgun hunting or long steel, the receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, making it simple to set up a scope or red dot. That long sight radius and the extra velocity from the 7.5 inch tube stretch the .357 Magnum into legitimate hunting territory for deer-sized game at reasonable distances.
A transfer bar safety lets you carry all six chambers loaded with confidence, which is a real upgrade over traditional single actions. Whether you want a trail companion, a small game and whitetail rig, or just a beautifully made single action that will outlast you, this BFR is a lot of revolver chambered in a cartridge you will shoot often instead of occasionally.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, this BFR happily runs .38 Special as well. That makes it easy to keep practice affordable and low recoil, then load up full magnum loads when you head to the field.
You can. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a base for a handgun scope or red dot is a straightforward job. With the long 7.5 inch barrel and steady four pound heft, it makes a genuinely capable optic platform for handgun hunting.
Yes. The BFR uses a transfer bar safety, so the hammer cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled. That means you can load all six rounds, unlike old-style single actions that were traditionally carried with an empty chamber under the hammer.
It is overbuilt on purpose, and that works in your favor. The heavy stainless frame tames recoil to almost nothing, the long barrel wrings extra velocity out of the .357, and the gun will digest a lifetime of stout loads without complaint. If you want a magnum revolver you can shoot all day comfortably, this is a great way to get there.
