The Magnum Research BFR (Biggest Finest Revolver) in 30-30 Winchester transforms rifle cartridge power into a precision handgun platform. This single-action revolver delivers rifle-caliber performance with the portability and quick handling characteristics that only a revolver can provide.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard revolver cartridges, the 30-30 Winchester offers significantly higher velocity and energy transfer, making this BFR suitable for hunting medium to large game at extended ranges. The 7.5-inch barrel length optimizes powder burn while maintaining manageable overall length. Stainless steel construction throughout ensures corrosion resistance in harsh hunting conditions where blued steel would show wear.
