Magnum Research BFR Long Cylinder Stainless 10" 45-70 Government Revolver - 5 Rounds, 10" Barrel, Polymer Grips, Stainless/Silver, 3-Dot Sights

Totally awesome head turner at the range. Be polite and announce "loud Cannon Fire". almost too loud for indoor range. Can't wait to get it outside for reactive targets such as milk jugs filled with water and of course hog hunting. Very accurate 5 shot groups touching at 25 yds. Very well made with clean crisp trigger pull. Well balanced and of course very awesome to shoot.

I've always wanted a 44 mag revolver. Then I saw this. Omg accurate, fun to shoot and what a conversation piece. People are like check out my 357 pistol ain't it bad. I'm like excuse me while I whip this out.

Love this gun. Definitely a show stopper and conversation piece. Shoots better than expected. Very accurate.

very very smooth action, light trigger pull, shoots controllably and accurate .great service from buds and very helpful info from magnum research on their products.

Man I love this pistol, brought it to the range with my dad and had a few guys come up asking about it and took pictures of it in amazement. It really is a huge beautiful revolver. It does have a good amount of muzzle rise and recoil, but it’s very manageable when you put your left hand on top of your shooting hand for more support. I am going to try it one handed next time lol. I was shooting 300 grain 45-70 Winchester ammo. It’s very accurate, I was only shooting at 10 yards, I’ll have to try further out next time. It comes with a rail you can attach on top of you wanted to add a scope. Love this pistol, you can tell it’s a very high quality revolver that’ll last forever. It’s going as my back up on my wife’s and my eventual bear hunt in Montana.

Outstanding firearm! This is as close to the all-around hunting revolver as any I've used in 50 years. Using loads that are intended for a trapdoor rifle, this is a pleasure to shoot with more of a heavy push than a slap. The revolver will handle (according to the manufacturer's literature) loads that are suitable for the Marlin 1895 rifle. This type of load will handle anything that walks or crawls and gives ballistics on par or better than the .500 S&W at a lower cost. One of the best purchases I have ever made, but definitely not an everyday carry revolver.

Beautiful gun and well made. It has lots of recoil but I was expecting that. It is the best BFR (big frame revolver) I own. I have ordered another gun, the Ruger Super Redhawk in 10mm) because of the excellent quality and great buying experience!!

good gun well made fun to shoot a little heavy

Super comfortable despite how it looks, very reliable and ammo is sold in most stores. And gotta love the light trigger making it a bit easier for tight groupings

This review is long overdue (purchased in September). This is my 1st single action revolver, I've never shot the 45-70 gov't round before, but what I heard it kicks bad out of a repeating rifle. I shot 325 grain Leverevolution ammo and...it wasn't that bad. It had a kick, but I was actually expecting more. The gun is accurate and the trigger is crisp (single action it should be). Gun came with a mount which was a pleasant surprise, gun is already tapped and drilled. I will be placing a scope on it in the future. The grip felt comfortable in my hands, my hands are big. It wouldn't be a problem for those with medium-sized hands as well. The grips are rubber so I'm sure that helped with the kick, I might get it chromed out. I am definitely happy with the purchase, will eventually get a repeating rifle in same caliber. Quick note: Not all ammo in 45-70 can be shot out of this gun. Check the box, it will say "For rifles only" if it cant be shot. Hornady is a no go, luckily my local gunshop allowed me to exchange it out since I bought the ammo from them a few weeks before I bought the gun.
