The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Mag delivers serious stopping power for big game hunting with its massive cartridge capability and precision-engineered construction. This large-frame revolver transforms the powerful 460 S&W Magnum cartridge into a manageable hunting platform through advanced engineering and ergonomic design.
What Makes This Different
The Raging Hunter stands apart from standard hunting revolvers with its ported 10.5-inch barrel that reduces felt recoil by up to 30% compared to non-ported alternatives. The matte black oxide finish provides superior corrosion resistance over standard bluing, while the integrated cushion grip system absorbs recoil energy that would otherwise transfer to the shooter's hand. This combination allows hunters to maintain accuracy with one of the most powerful production revolver cartridges available.
Key Features
- 460 S&W Magnum chamber handles cartridges generating over 2,400 ft-lbs of muzzle energy
- 10.5-inch ported barrel with integral compensator reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil
- Matte black oxide steel construction resists corrosion in harsh hunting conditions
- Black rubber grip with integrated cushion inserts dampens recoil impulse
- 5-round cylinder capacity with simultaneous ejection system
- Compatible with 460 S&W Mag, 454 Casull, and 45 Colt cartridges
- Adjustable rear sight system for precise shot placement at extended ranges
Field performance centers on the cartridge's exceptional versatility and terminal ballistics. The 460 S&W Magnum pushes 250-grain bullets to 2,000+ fps, delivering sufficient energy for large North American game including elk, moose, and bear. The extended barrel length maximizes velocity potential while the porting system keeps the muzzle on target for rapid follow-up shots. Weather-sealed construction maintains reliability in rain, snow, and humidity conditions encountered during extended hunting seasons.
