The Taurus Raging Hunter 44 Rem Mag delivers magnum power in a precision-built platform engineered for hunting and target shooting. This full-size revolver combines traditional reliability with modern features that serious shooters demand. Built on Taurus's proven large frame, it handles the substantial recoil of 44 Magnum cartridges while maintaining accuracy shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hunting revolvers, the Raging Hunter incorporates a ported barrel system that reduces felt recoil by up to 25% compared to non-ported designs. The integrated Picatinny rail system allows direct mounting of optics without requiring additional hardware or gunsmithing. The dual-stage trigger system provides a smooth, consistent pull weight that breaks cleanly at approximately 10-12 pounds in double action mode.
Key Features
- 6.75-inch ported barrel with matte black oxide finish for corrosion resistance
- Integrated Picatinny rail for scope mounting without drilling or tapping
- Black rubber grip with red cushion insert for recoil absorption
- 6-round cylinder capacity with simultaneous ejection system
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
- Adjustable rear sight with fiber optic front sight
- Heavy-duty construction rated for full-power 44 Magnum loads
Field performance centers on the barrel porting system, which redirects muzzle gases upward to counteract recoil and muzzle flip. This design enables faster follow-up shots during hunting scenarios where quick second shots matter. The 6.75-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for 44 Magnum cartridges while maintaining reasonable handling characteristics. Weather-resistant finish protects against moisture and field conditions encountered during extended hunting trips.
