The Taurus Raging Hunter delivers devastating stopping power in the potent 500 S&W Magnum chambering, engineered for hunters pursuing dangerous game and long-range precision shooting. This large-frame revolver combines robust construction with practical hunting features that set it apart from standard revolvers.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional hunting revolvers, the Raging Hunter features a factory-ported barrel system that significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip when firing full-power magnum loads. The target crown barrel design enhances accuracy potential beyond typical hunting revolvers, while the stainless steel frame construction provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh field conditions. The matte black oxide cylinder finish reduces glare during critical shot opportunities.
Key Features
- 500 S&W Magnum chambering delivers 2,600+ ft-lbs of muzzle energy
- 6.75-inch ported barrel reduces recoil by approximately 30% compared to non-ported designs
- Target crown barrel enhances accuracy potential for precision shooting
- Stainless steel frame construction resists corrosion and environmental damage
- 5-round cylinder capacity with smooth extraction system
- Black rubber grip provides secure handling during heavy recoil
- Matte finishes eliminate reflective surfaces for hunting applications
Field performance centers on the cartridge's ability to cleanly take large game at extended ranges where lesser calibers fall short. The ported barrel system allows shooters to maintain sight picture for faster follow-up shots when necessary. Weather-sealed construction handles moisture and temperature extremes encountered during extended hunting expeditions.
