The Raging Bull series is known for its strong build, and this Model 480 delivers with a stainless steel frame, cylinder, and barrel finished in matte/satin stainless. The five-shot cylinder is purpose-built for the .480 Ruger cartridge, and the model uses Taurus's dual lockup system with both a rear latch and a front crane latch.
The 6.5-inch barrel is ported, shrouded, and features a full underlug and ventilated rib. This setup, paired with the revolver's full-size profile, is designed to manage the .480 Ruger's power while maintaining stability and control.
It is a double-action/single-action revolver with an exposed hammer for deliberate single-action work or rapid double-action use. Sighting is handled by a pinned ramp front blade and a fully adjustable rear, giving clear sight alignment and user-adjustable elevation and windage.
The factory black rubber grips are finger-grooved and include the signature red recoil-absorbing backstrap insert. This grip design complements the revolver's weight and barrel porting for confident handling.
Markings include "TAURUS INT. MFG. MIAMI, FL – USA" and "MADE IN BRAZIL," with manufacture in Brazil. This discontinued .480 Ruger Raging Bull variant is identified by MFG part number 2-480069M, and the included factory box retains its matching end label.
