A big, fine revolver if there ever was one, the Magnum Research BFR provides power and versatility in a 100 percent made in the United States package.

Based in Minnesota, Magnum Research is known for making the popular Desert Eagle available to American shooters, and has imported the IMI/IWI brand of pistols under the Baby Desert Eagle name.

Sporting a massive, all-stainless frame, the BFR is an impressively powerful single-action. The BFR is perfect for hunting—or even outright protection, if you're a regular backwoods adventurer. If .30/30 Win. isn't your style, don't fret: There are nearly a dozen other options available.
