Magnum Research’s BFR long frame revolver was originally designed to fire rifle cartridges. It was later chambered in ultra-high performance pistol calibers like the 500 S&W as they became available. The initial target market for the BFR was handgun hunters, and the 30-30 Winchester chambering has been a staple since the beginning.
Given its intended hunting use, a current production model was reviewed and also used at Handgun Hunters Competition.
