The .454 Casull has a well-earned reputation as a cartridge that means business, and the Taurus Raging Hunter was built from the ground up to handle it in the field. This is the long-barrel version of the platform, with an 8.38 inch ported barrel that squeezes real velocity out of heavy hunting loads and gives you a nice long sight radius when you're shooting irons. It's a five-shot double action, single action revolver with a matte stainless frame set against a black barrel shroud and cylinder, a two-tone look that stands out in the safe and holds up in the woods.
Taurus took a smart approach to the barrel on this one. A steel barrel sleeve sits inside an aluminum housing, which trims weight off the front end and keeps the whole gun balanced instead of nose-heavy. Factory-tuned porting and a gas expansion chamber vent gases upward to fight muzzle rise, so follow-up shots come back on target quicker than you'd expect from a full-power .454. The rubber grip with its cushioned insert is one of the best features on the Raging series, soaking up a noticeable amount of recoil before it ever reaches your hand. At 57 ounces, there's enough heft here to keep things civil without being a chore to carry on a chest rig or hip holster.
A full-length Picatinny rail sits right on top, ready for a red dot or handgun scope, which is where this revolver really shines for deer, hogs, and black bear inside practical handgun hunting distances. Prefer iron sights? The fixed front and fully adjustable rear have you covered. And since the .454 Casull chamber also runs .45 Colt, you can burn through mild practice loads all afternoon and save the stout stuff for hunting season.
This platform took home the 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award, and it wasn't a fluke. Between the recoil management, the optics rail, and the rugged build, the Raging Hunter delivers a genuinely capable big-bore hunting revolver without the custom shop price of admission.
Yes. The .454 Casull is essentially a lengthened, higher-pressure version of the .45 Colt, so .45 Colt ammo runs fine in this revolver. It's a great way to practice affordably and comfortably, then step up to full-power .454 loads when it counts. Just clean the chambers well after shooting the shorter rounds so residue doesn't build up.
The .454 Casull is a stout cartridge no matter what you shoot it from, but this gun handles it better than most. The 57 ounce weight, factory porting, gas expansion chamber, and cushioned insert grips all work together to soften the blow and keep the muzzle down. Most folks find full-power loads very shootable in measured strings, and .45 Colt makes range days downright pleasant.
Yes, and that's one of the biggest selling points. The Raging Hunter has an integral Picatinny rail machined right into the top of the barrel shroud, so you can mount a red dot or handgun scope without buying a separate base. If you'd rather run irons, the fixed front and fully adjustable rear sights are ready to go out of the box.
With full-power .454 Casull loads and the long 8.38 inch barrel, this revolver is well suited for deer, hogs, and black bear at practical handgun hunting distances. It also makes a confidence-inspiring backup gun in big bear country. The cartridge has taken game up to and including elk in experienced hands with proper shot placement.
