After asking for information on the bfr 45-70 I called the gun dealer and asked about one Monday,He said He had just sold one and it was returned after 19 rounds with a locked-up action,bad mojo I figured so I asked about a 454 bfr,well I picked it up today after work,bought a box of 240 grs advertised vel.is 1800 fps.I stopped on the way home and shot 3 rds at a rock at about 100 yds,it was avery comfortable gun to shoot without near the recoil I expected,very nice.

I have a BFR in 475 Linebaugh. You're right they are very comfortable to shoot considering the power of the cartridges they're chambered for.

Dave,

You will be very happy with your BFR! I have several, and I've never been disappointed. They shoot great.

Yeppers we have to have some pictures.
