Im looking at getting a BFR in a 475. What are you guy's professional opinion on this gun/caliber?

See this thread:

Best big-bore revolver for the money as far as I am concerned and available in a number of great calibers like the .475 Linebaugh.

I just took the plunge on the BFR 475. When you get one let me know how you like it?

I have had mine for a few years, and use it primarily as a .480 Ruger. Very nice gun for the money.

I think you should plan on sending it off to Jack Huntington and having him fix the grip frame. It's well worth the price he charges.

I agree with Gary and the others. I have one in 500 JRH and did send it to Jack. Jack's work is awesome. I love it and you will too.
