Key Features
Caliber Integration: .360 Buckhammer
Chambered in .360 Buckhammer, this BFR model delivers significant terminal performance. The cartridge’s design, optimized for lever actions, translates effectively into a revolver platform with the BFR’s robust cylinder and frame. This configuration provides a powerful, straight-wall cartridge option suitable for a broad range of hunting scenarios where a revolver is preferred or mandated.
Precision Construction
Each BFR revolver is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance under demanding field conditions. The frame and cylinder undergo precise machining to tight tolerances, contributing to the platform’s inherent accuracy. The 10-inch barrel is critically dimensioned to stabilize projectiles and maximize velocity for the .360 Buckhammer, translating to predictable ballistic trajectories at extended ranges.
Operational Reliability
The BFR operates on a proven single-action mechanism, renowned for its simplicity, strength, and reliability. This design minimizes potential points of failure, ensuring consistent operation in adverse environments. The trigger system is tuned for a clean, consistent break, facilitating precise shot placement critical for both competitive shooting and ethical hunting.
Ergonomics and Sight Picture
The large-frame design of the BFR, combined with its substantial grip, provides a stable firing platform, mitigating felt recoil during shot delivery. The integral adjustable rear sight, paired with a fixed front sight, allows for elevation and windage adjustments, enabling precise zeroing across various ammunition types and engagement distances. The extended sight radius afforded by the 10-inch barrel further enhances aiming precision.
