The Magnum Research BFR in .454 Casull with a 6.5-inch barrel (brand part no. BFR454C6) is a big-frame, single-action revolver built entirely in the USA from stainless steel. Magnum Research designed it as a magnum from the ground up, with a precision-grade cut-rifled barrel that shoots lead or jacketed bullets accurately and a five-shot cylinder sized for the .454 Casull. A fixed black front sight, an adjustable rear sight and a brushed stainless finish round out a handgun the maker says can take everything from grouse to grizzly. At 12.75 inches overall, the 6.5-inch barrel gives a shorter package than the 7.5-inch BFR. Hunters who want a magnum-class handgun that is easier to carry will find it in this Magnum Research revolver.
