The Magnum Research BFR 10" .45-70 revolver in brushed stainless steel is a purpose-built handgun for hunters and shooters who demand serious stopping power and reliability in the field. Chambered in .45-70 Government—one of the most respected cartridges in hunting history—this single-action revolver delivers the kind of ballistic performance and craftsmanship you'd expect from a specialist manufacturer. The 10-inch barrel gives you the velocity and sight radius needed for accurate shots at distance, while the brushed stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up to hard use in any weather.
Built around the proven BFR platform, this revolver is a no-nonsense tool for serious hunting applications where you need a handgun that won't quit. The five-shot capacity may seem modest, but each round carries enough energy to handle the job. The Bisley-style grips provide a comfortable, stable hold for extended shooting sessions, and the adjustable rear sight paired with a fixed front sight lets you dial in your load and distance with confidence. At 4.7 pounds with a total length of 17.5 inches, it's substantial but still manageable in the field or at the bench.
If you're looking for a .45-70 revolver that combines hunting-grade power with corrosion-resistant construction, this BFR delivers. It's a revolver built for shooters who understand that sometimes the best tool is a simple, powerful, and utterly reliable one.
