Fit & Finish of Magnum Research BFR Revolvers?

Magnum research products have always been nice I’ve owned 4 different items but never a bfr but I’d bet money it’ll probably be nicer than ruger and similar or better than smith

I have the 30/30 BFR, and as for quality, I have no complaints. Very well made, and after alot of practice, a very good shooting revolver. The sites that came with the gun, were very nice, but it also comes with a scope base, that I used to put on a Leupold scope. I can tell you I also enjoy my Ruger Super Redhawk, and my 629 S&W, and each have their place. Nobody that buys a BFR, will ever say it is under built, at least in my mind.

I have had a 45/70 BFR for many years, and it is exceptionally nice. Product quality, at least of mine, exceeds that of a typical Smith or Ruger.

Typically very good. Closer to Freedom Arms than Ruger or S&W.

I have a bunch of BFRs and the fit and finish is very good. Much better than your typical Ruger, and closer to an FA. They are even better when they come from their custom shop, the Precision Center. Great revolvers and the best bang-for-the-buck IMHO.

Here are a couple:

.500 JRH


.454 Casull

Between my .44 Super Blackhawk and 45/70 BFR I'd give the edge to the BFR, but just barely, I'm way happy with both of them. Fit and finish great on both.

Is it an older BFR?

I've had the BFR about 3 years. Where are the grips on yours from, I dont like the original rubber ones.
