The Taurus Raging Hunter 357 Magnum combines hunting-grade accuracy with the versatility of a magnum revolver platform. This full-size wheelgun features a precision-engineered 5.12-inch barrel optimized for maximum velocity and consistent shot placement at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting revolvers, the Raging Hunter incorporates a ported barrel system that reduces felt recoil by up to 30% while maintaining muzzle velocity. The integrated Picatinny rail accepts optics without requiring aftermarket modifications. The matte black oxide finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, extending service life in harsh hunting conditions.
Key Features
- 5.12-inch ported barrel reduces recoil and muzzle flip for faster follow-up shots
- Integrated Picatinny rail accepts scopes, red dots, and tactical accessories
- 7-round cylinder capacity provides extra firepower over 6-shot competitors
- Matte black oxide steel construction resists corrosion and wear
- Cushioned rubber grip with red insert reduces hand fatigue during extended shooting
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
- Compatible with 357 Magnum and 38 Special ammunition
Field performance centers on the barrel's porting system, which redirects gas upward to counteract muzzle rise. The 357 Magnum chambering delivers sufficient energy for medium game hunting while remaining manageable for target shooting. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris during outdoor use. The rail system maintains zero when properly mounted, supporting precision shooting applications.
