Magnum Research BFR 480 Ruger/475 Linebaugh 7.5" 5rd Revolver

This Magnum Research BFR is a short cylinder single action revolver chambered for 480 Ruger and 475 Linebaugh, the two big .475 bore cartridges that share one cylinder. It holds five rounds, has a 7.5" barrel and uses the Bisley grip frame. Like every BFR, the barrel, cylinder and frame are brushed stainless steel, and the barrel is cut rifled.

Running 480 Ruger gives you a milder load for practice, while 475 Linebaugh steps up to full big game power from the same gun. The Bisley grip spreads recoil through the hand and keeps the muzzle from flipping as hard as a plow handle grip does. Sights are a fixed black front blade and an adjustable rear, and the frame is drilled and tapped, so a scope mount can go on for longer shots. At about 3.7 pounds empty, the weight is part of the design: it tames the recoil and keeps follow up shots under control. Hunters who want a revolver for elk, moose, bear or bison at handgun distances will find few production guns better suited to the job, and it pairs well with a BFR in another chambering for anyone collecting the line.
