[nalioth]

Is this a guessing game?

[The Bushmaster]

"Big F**king Rifle"??? I don't know...

[Claude Clay]

Biggest, Finest, Revolver..............no

[oklahoma caveman]

magnum research BFR. Biggest, Finest, Revolver.

figured if people had 1 that they would know what it meant.

[BigBlock]

Let's stop kidding ourselves...we all know that "F" doesn't stand for finest. ;)

I don't own one, but I would love to. It's like a giant Blackhawk, what could be better than that? :D

[Tribal]

Mmm-hmm...I don't really buy "Finest" as their intended middle word, whatever they claim.

[Big Boomer]

You mean like THIS?

Yes, it's mine.
YES, the "F" stands for something that is not family friendly or "G" rated.
YES, it hurts.
YES, it is well built, a freakin tank as a matter of fact.
YES, it was worth it.
YES, I am an idiot for buying this in a 500, but I never claimed to be a genius.
YES, I would buy another.
NO, I will not sell you mine ;)

I have 2. A 45-70 and a .475. Well built with a good trigger. For the price they are hard to beat. They seem to stand up well to a pounding. I personally have not run enough rounds thru one to really say definitively.

If you want a mega boomer I think the X-frame guns are a little more ergonomic and they have a DA trigger. You will pay more for them, however.

A friend has one in 45-70. AWSOME! It has a 9 1/2" barrel, shoots VERY accurately and the recoil is surprisingly mild. Big, slow muzzle rize and BACK-PUSH as opposed to a quick and snappy recoil. Great hunting arm!

[Kind of Blued]

Beyond my ability of rationalization... Not that I don't want one.

[Dirtypacman]

Big Boomer that is one Big Revolver you got there .... not something for pocket carry :)

I have owned a Magnum Research BFR in .45/70 for a number of years, and absolutely love it, particularly for hunting Russian hogs in Tennessee (in fact, it is my chosen weapon for a trip I have planned in the near future). I shoot 405 grain jacketed soft-point bullets at a muzzle velocity of approximately 1350 fps (reloads), and it is sweet. Very accurate. And not near so punishing as you might think. It feels almost like black powder...more a push than a slap to the hand. Which is not something that can be said of the .50 Smith & Wesson magnum.

I strongly recommend the BFR, particularly in .45/70.
