About this product
The Magnum Research BFR Revolver .350 Legend Brushed Stainless is a single-action hunting revolver chambered for the .350 Legend cartridge with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction. It features an exposed hammer, adjustable rear sight, and comes drilled and tapped with a Weaver-style scope mount for precision shooting applications. This is not a concealed carry piece—it's built for deliberate, controlled fire at the range or in the field.
What is the Magnum Research BFR Revolver .350 Legend Brushed Stainless used for?
This revolver is designed for hunting medium game and precision range shooting where the .350 Legend cartridge's flat trajectory and energy retention are advantageous. The single-action mechanism forces deliberate shot placement, making it ideal for hunters who prioritize accuracy over rapid fire. With its 7.5-inch barrel and optics-ready frame, it's optimized for shots out to 200 yards on deer-sized targets.
How does the Magnum Research BFR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The BFR revolver offers superior portability and simpler maintenance compared to the bolt-action Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, but sacrifices magazine capacity and practical rate of fire. Where the Stevens 334 holds 4+1 rounds and allows faster follow-up shots, the BFR's 6-round cylinder requires manual extraction and reloading—making it better for solitary, methodical hunting rather than driven hunts or defensive use.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This revolver weighs 5 pounds exactly and measures 15 inches in overall length with a 7.5-inch barrel. The stainless steel frame contributes significantly to its heft, providing stability but making it unsuitable for extended carry without a slung holster. The cylinder width is 1.75 inches, requiring a properly sized holster for field transport.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver is not for concealed carry enthusiasts or those seeking a home defense firearm—its single-action mechanism and 5-pound weight make it impractical for rapid deployment. It's also ill-suited for new shooters unfamiliar with manual extraction or those who prioritize high-capacity platforms; stick with a the Stevens 334 Rifle if you need quicker follow-up shots.
What's in the box?
The package includes the revolver, one Weaver-style scope mount with mounting hardware, and a factory manual—no cleaning kit, lock, or additional grips are provided. You'll need to source your own optics, hearing protection, and ammunition separately, as Magnum Research ships these as bare-bones platforms ready for customization.
Is the Magnum Research BFR worth it at $1406.99?
At this price point, it's justified for hunters who specifically need a revolver in .350 Legend for jurisdictions restricting rifle hunting or for suppressor use where revolvers excel. Compared to a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotgun at nearly half the cost, the BFR offers niche ballistic advantages but requires more skill to operate effectively—buy it only if your use case demands its specific capabilities.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with .350 Legend ammunition from all manufacturers?
- Yes, it cycles Winchester, Hornady, and Federal .350 Legend ammunition reliably, but always test your specific load—some subsonic rounds may not generate enough pressure for consistent ejection. Stick with 150-grain or heavier projectiles for optimal performance.
- Does it fit standard revolver holsters?
- No, its 15-inch overall length and 1.75-inch cylinder width require a custom holster—most generic revolver holsters accommodate up to 12 inches. Look for models designed specifically for BFR revolvers or have one made by a leathersmith like Diamond D Custom Leather.
- How long does shipping take?
- Expect 7-10 business days for processing and ground shipping, plus any mandatory waiting periods for your jurisdiction. We ship via FedEx with adult signature required—no expedited options for firearms due to regulatory constraints.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- No, all firearm sales are final once transferred through an FFL—federal regulations prohibit returns unless the firearm is defective. Ensure your local range allows revolvers and that you have a use case before purchasing.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- Yes, the .350 Legend cartridge is suppressor-friendly, but you'll need a thread adapter since the barrel isn't threaded—plan for an additional $120-$200 for a competent gunsmith to thread the 0.625-inch muzzle diameter to 5/8x24 TPI.
