Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BFR .45-70 suitable for hunting large and dangerous game?

Absolutely. The .45-70 Government cartridge has a legendary reputation for taking North American big game, including elk, moose, black bear, and brown bear. Paired with the BFR's 10-inch barrel — which maximizes muzzle velocity and energy — this revolver is one of the most capable handgun hunting platforms available. Many hunters use it as both a primary hunting sidearm and a bear-country backup gun.

Can I mount a scope or red dot on the Magnum Research BFR?

Yes. Every BFR comes with a factory-included MRI Weaver-style scope mount, making it easy to attach a rifle scope, red dot, or long eye relief pistol scope. This is especially useful with the 10-inch barrel configuration, where extended range shooting and low-light hunting scenarios benefit greatly from magnified or illuminated optics.

What types of ammunition can the BFR .45-70 safely fire?

The Magnum Research BFR is built on a heavy-duty stainless steel frame rated for modern high-pressure .45-70 loads, including +P and lever-gun "hot" loads from manufacturers like Buffalo Bore, Garret Cartridges, and DoubleTap. Both lead and jacketed bullets are fully supported by the precision-grade barrel. Always consult the owner's manual and use factory ammunition that meets SAAMI specifications for the .45-70 Government cartridge.
