Magnum Research BFR Bisley .45-70 Government Revolver, 7.5″ Barrel

Product Description

The Magnum Research BFR Bisley is a single-action revolver chambered in .45-70 Government with a 7.5″ barrel. It holds 5 rounds and is built on an extra large frame. Overall length is 15″, and the revolver weighs 68.8 oz.

What sets the BFR Bisley apart

The frame is stainless steel with a brushed stainless finish. This model is fitted with Bisley-style grips, which have a different shape from a standard revolver grip. The sights are LPA rear sights with a scope mount, so you can run iron sights or add an optic.

This revolver suits shooters who like single-action handguns and want a big-bore cartridge in a handgun. The long barrel and heavy frame add up to a large revolver. At 68.8 oz, it is built to be shot from a rest or a steady stance, not carried light. If you want a .45-70 Government handgun with a scope mount already in the sight package, this one fits that job.

For gear, start with .45-70 Government ammunition and a holster or case sized for a 7.5″ barrel and an extra large frame. A handgun scope and rings are the natural add-on given the scope mount. Ear and eye protection, a sturdy shooting rest, and a cleaning kit with a .45-caliber bore brush round out the setup.
