FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New BFR .480 Ruger/.475 Linebaugh Specially Designed To Unleash New Big-Game Rounds
Magnum Research's magnificent BFR (Biggest Finest Revolver) is now available chambered for the hot, new .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh cartridges. Known as the BFR .480/475, this all-stainless revolver chambers these powerful handgun hunting cartridges in a comfortable-to-shoot, single-action design-for less than $1,000 retail.
Hornady's factory .480 Ruger round launches a 325-grain XTP bullet at 1350 FPS. The awesome .475 Linebaugh-recently introduced as a factory round by Hornady after years as a wildcat-propels a 400-grain XTP at more than 1300 FPS. By comparison, a 240-grain .44 Magnum bullet moves at an average of 1250 FPS.
The BFR .480/475 is not a .44 Magnum conversion. It was designed from the ground up to have the cylinder length and strength, and the cylinder frame strength, to handle these two powerhouse rounds. The revolver looks beautiful, it's comfortable to shoot, and the price is right.
With either a 6.5-inch or 7.5-inch barrel, the BFR .480/475 offers the handgun hunter an exciting option for responsibly taking any big-game animal in North America.
You can learn more about the BFR by visiting our website at www.magnumresearch.com or by calling Magnum Research at 1-800-772-6168 for a brochure. To purchase the BFR, visit your local firearms dealer.
