If you get a BFR 454 I would suggest 6.5 inch as they measure from the front of the frame. So 6.5 turns out closer to 7 inches in reality. And the BFR Bisley grip frame and white or black micarta grip is sharp looking. I encourage the BFR over the Freedom Arms. You can get more by designing your custom feature BFR on their website and they will make it just as you specify.
