Both are reliable, dependable and well made. Both are more accurate than 99% can shoot. The fit and finish are where things seperate. It's like comparing a baseball bat and a club. You can hit people over the head with either one, one just has a little sleeker lines, and is a little smoother looking than the other.


haha, I like your analogy! I was facing the same dilema when I got my FA 454... in the end, the Freedom Arms did not need to be modified to make me "happy" and it is the original 454, AND I had the money, so I went that route. I have been very happy with mine.

That being said, I would really like to get a BFR some day also... and another Freedom Arms!

P.S. for what it is worth, I have been to the factory in Freedom, WY twice now, and they are very very nice and down to earth people including the owner Bob
