Where can I find a Magnum Research BFR to hold?

[gtivan]

So, thinking I want a Magnum Research BFR large cylinder in 45/70. Here is the glitch, I have never seen one in person let alone held one.

I know of many distributors in the area but no one has one in stock. I want to hold one! Preferably several with different stocks and barrel lengths.

So anyone know a p[lace where they have them in stock? Say anywhere near I-5 from Eugene to Portland works.

Thanks

That's what I've seen the little I've looked for one in .30⧸30 WCF. They can be had online, generally, but I haven't seen one in person for sale in forever.

A forum member was nice enough to invite me over to see his BFR. A 45/70 with the 10 inch barrel and standard stocks topped with a nice variable scope. I could go that route and be very happy.

Still wouldn't mind seeing one with the Bisley stocks or the shorter 7 1/2 inch barrel.

And yes, I am expecting to have to order one from the factory to get what I want when I am ready to pull the trigger on the purchase.

I just traded for this one in .45/ .410 which is basically the same as you're looking into. I added the rail and solid wood grip. It is awesome. Fired it today for the first time. I live in Battle Ground.

I can't help you on where to find one but I can say they are enjoyable to shoot. I got the chance to shoot a few different loads in one with a 8" or so barrel. With black powder equivalent loads it's like a 44spl. Very mellow. Hot HD +P loads will be point of aim, point of impact at 100 yards and you'll know it went off.

Nice stocks! Where did you get them?

Nice stocks! Where did you get them?

It's a Hogue one piece grip that slides on from the bottom up. There is a retention screw and assembly that is super easy to put on. The grip is in the BFR parts accessory page for $76. To me it does look more classy than the rubber grips that are stock. I fired the gun for the first time yesterday. It is real nice and smooth. If you're going for the 45/ 70, it may buck a bit more, but the gun is so heavy, I doubt it would be bad. Like I said, smooth.
