The BFR Short Cylinder configuration delivers the power and flexibility of .475 Linebaugh with the option to run .480 Ruger. Its five-shot, unfluted cylinder and stress-relieved 7.5 in barrel are engineered for big-bore performance in a robust stainless-steel platform.
Controls and operation are classic single-action only. Sights include a black ramped front blade and a fully adjustable rear, providing a clean, precise sight picture. The long ejector-rod housing with a knurled/button-style head aids positive case extraction.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped and fitted with plug screws from the factory. The brushed stainless finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver offers a uniform, durable appearance.
Built in the USA, this full-size revolver features smooth white two-piece grip panels and a 1:15 twist. Overall length is approximately 13.75 in, and weight is about 3.7 lb for the 7.5 in model, giving it a steady feel on the bench or in the field.
