Lets see, the bfr has more chamberings, the best single action bisley grip frame for handling big bore recoil as well as the old plowhandle available. A better rear sight now and a match grade barrel! Im failing to see how they are ruined. The long frame 7.5” gun handles well off-hand. In the last year ive taken two axis bucks, 13 animals in africa and the largest whitetail ive ever shot all offhand with a 7.5” bfr 460sw from 40 yards to 150 yards. The gun will shoot sub 1.5” groups, rested with a scope, at 100 yards while balancing as well as my fa83 10” 454 offhand. It also handles the 460 recoil better than the fa gun does in 454. Im not sure how these have been ruined? Oh yeah, comes with a scope base too. Freedom arms guns, rugers, smiths, taurus have all also gone up in price over the last 5 years as well. Then again so have my vehicles, their parts, my utilities and the cost of my kids. Not sure how magnum research was gonna hold the price static when simple cost of metal has increased. Theyre also adding some new standard factory chamberings.
On a side note. I actually own 3 bfrs and 2 x frame smith and wessons. Only things arguably better on the smiths is the trigger. The bfr 7.5” 460 runs over 100 fps faster with the same loads as my xframe 460 8 3/8” xvr revolver. The cyclinder gap on my bfr is < .002. The smith is just over .006.
Is the original poster basing this on facts, feelings, or perhaps misinformation. Im not sure.
