Handgun hunting has a way of humbling people, but the Taurus Raging Hunter makes the learning curve a whole lot friendlier. This is the .44 Magnum version with the 6.75 inch barrel, a sweet spot in the lineup that gives you enough sight radius and velocity for deer-sized game without turning the gun into a boat anchor on your hip. It won the American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye back in 2019, and the design still holds up as one of the better values in a dedicated hunting revolver.
The barrel is the star of the show. A steel sleeve sits inside an angular aluminum housing, which trims weight and helps the gun balance naturally in the hands instead of tipping nose-heavy. Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber vent gases to fight muzzle rise, so your second shot comes back on target quicker than you would expect from a full-power magnum. The Picatinny rail is machined right into the top of the housing, ready for a pistol scope or red dot, and the fixed front and adjustable rear sights are there whenever you want to run it old school.
The large frame houses a six-round cylinder, and the double action/single action trigger lets you cock the hammer for a deliberate single action press when a buck steps into your shooting lane. Taurus wraps the whole package in rubber grips with a cushioned insert along the backstrap, which takes real sting out of heavy loads. Feed it .44 Special for cheap, soft-shooting practice sessions, then load up full-house magnums when the season opens. At 12.6 inches overall in a matte black finish, it rides fine in a chest rig or crossbody holster and shrugs off weather and brush. For anyone wanting a legitimate optics-ready hunting revolver without a custom-shop price, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Yes, and that is one of its biggest selling points. The Picatinny rail is built into the top of the barrel housing from the factory, so a handgun scope or red dot bolts right on with standard rings or a compatible mount. If you prefer irons, the fixed front and adjustable rear sights work fine on their own.
It is far more pleasant than most .44 Magnums this size. The factory porting and gas expansion chamber knock down muzzle rise, and the cushioned insert in the rubber grip soaks up a lot of the push. Full-power loads are very manageable, and .44 Special makes for an easy practice round.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .44 Magnum, it will safely fire .44 Special. That makes range days cheaper and softer on the hands, and you can switch to magnum loads when it is time to hunt.
It is a smart middle ground. You get more velocity and sight radius than the 5 inch version while staying handier to carry and holster than the 8.37 inch model. For whitetail and hogs at short to medium range, especially with an optic on the rail, it covers just about everything most handgun hunters need.
