The Magnum Research BFR in .44 Magnum with a 5-inch stainless steel barrel is a serious wheelgun built for hunters and shooters who don't compromise on power or durability. This single-action revolver is manufactured entirely in the US and designed from the ground up as a magnum—not retrofitted from a smaller platform. With six rounds of .44 Mag on tap, a precision-grade barrel, and all-stainless construction, the BFR delivers the raw capability and reliability you need for long-range hunting or hunting dangerous game.
The .44 Magnum has been a trusted big-game cartridge for decades, and the BFR harnesses its full potential. The 5-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity and handling, while the stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles hard use in the field. Rubber Bisley grips provide a secure hold and absorb recoil, and the single-action trigger breaks clean for precision shot placement at distance.
This is a revolver for the serious hunter or enthusiast who understands the .44 Magnum's capabilities and respects what it can do. If you're looking for a production single-action revolver that won't let you down, the BFR is purpose-built to deliver.
