Magnum Research BFR .45-70 Government 7.5" Stainless Revolver

The Magnum Research BFR Revolver in 45/70 Government with a 7.5-inch stainless steel barrel is a heavyweight production revolver engineered from the ground up for maximum power and precision. Built entirely in the United States with uncompromising attention to manufacturing standards, the BFR 45/70 represents the upper tier of single-action revolver capability—designed for shooters who require genuine magnum-class ballistic performance in a field-proven platform.

The 7.5-inch barrel delivers optimal velocity for the 45/70 Government cartridge while maintaining practical handling weight at 5.88 pounds. All-stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance critical for field exposure and outdoor use. The precision-grade barrel is engineered to deliver repeatable accuracy with both lead and jacketed ammunition, a distinction that matters for long-range hunting and specialized ballistic applications where ammunition availability varies. The single-action trigger design and frame geometry support consistent shot placement under demanding conditions, whether from a bench or during field application.

This revolver serves shooters pursuing big-game hunting at extended ranges, professional guides operating in remote terrain, and serious handgun hunters who value raw stopping power over compact carry. The 45/70 Government cartridge delivers energy comparable to rifle-class performance from a handheld platform, enabling ethical shots on large game where conventional handgun calibers fall short. The BFR's robust construction handles full-power loads that would damage lesser firearms, making it the choice for operators and hunters who refuse compromise on capability.

Magnum Research engineered the BFR platform with the same design philosophy that defined the Desert Eagle pistol—building a magnum firearm from first principles rather than adapting an existing frame. The result is a revolver that absorbs recoil efficiently, maintains zero through heavy shooting strings, and delivers the accuracy that separates practical tools from novelty pieces. Available in multiple calibers and frame sizes, the BFR ecosystem allows shooters to match ballistic requirements to specific hunting or defense scenarios.
