The Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 Government chambers a true rifle cartridge in a single-action revolver. The 7.5″ stainless steel barrel and 5-round cylinder produce hunter-grade muzzle energy from a handgun-format platform, making this BFR a popular choice for woods carry, big-game backup, and silhouette competition. Every part \u2014 frame, cylinder, barrel, hammer and trigger \u2014 is stainless steel, hand-fitted in Pillager, Minnesota.<\/p>\n
.45-70 Government was developed in 1873 for the U.S. military rifle and remains one of the most respected big-bore cartridges in production. In the BFR’s long cylinder, the cartridge delivers the heavy bullet energy associated with lever-action rifles, but from a handgun you can carry on a hip rig.<\/p>\n
The BFR is machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel and stress-relieved to handle the chamber pressures of stout .45-70 loads. The matte stainless finish resists corrosion through hard-use field carry without the maintenance demands of a blued finish.<\/p>\n
The 7.5″ barrel gives the BFR a long sight radius and helps the heavy .45-70 bullet reach useful velocity. The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation; the front sight is a high-visibility blade. The grip frame is shaped to manage substantial recoil with a two-handed hold.<\/p>\n
Each BFR is hand-assembled, individually function-tested, and shipped with the Magnum Research factory warranty. The .45-70 BFR is one of the company’s flagship long-cylinder models and a regular winner at silhouette matches.<\/p>\n
