I was in need of a single action to go with my double action in 44 Rem Mag.
At first I was considering going with a Ruger Super Blackhawk. I've always have been a fan of Ruger. But after reading some of the posts and threads I decided to check out Magnum Research BFR and Freedom Arms.
Freedom Arms was outside my budget, so it was between Ruger and MRI. It was a lot of back and forth. Then it became more of what's in stock and availability and delivery. So for the last two weeks I've been chasing down the MRI BFR, finally finding one at a little gun 98 miles from home.
Well here is my new hunting revolver, the Magnum Research Industries BFR with 5 inch barrel in 44RM.
While I was at it I got a sweet!! deal on a new(?) never fired TC 50 cal Hawkens BP rifle. And reluctantly, tore myself away from buying an 1871 BP falling block 50-70.
