Do you have any experience with Magnum Research BFR

...the Magnum Research BFR? Just curious as I never hear of anyone using them.
I got one several years ago in a trade. It was brand new...never fired. It was the 45lc/410 model. Kinda like a Taurus judge on steroids... . It even had choke tubes for when shooting 410 in it. I traded it to a THP officer without ever shooting it. I sometimes wonder what it was like to shoot it. It weighed like 5 pounds....I used to say it had comic book proportions....crazy huge...
Just curious if you had any real world experience with them?
Thanks

I used to have a BFR in 500 S&W mag. Beast of a gun. Did not keep it very long.

Not very discreet are they??

I was just to lazy to go to the gym to workout so I could that mfer..lol

In reality it was not drilled and tapped for a scope. I did not see a reason for that firearm without a scope.

Don't mean to interfere as you directed this question to Kimber, so feel free to ignore my opinion.
Currently own four:
Two 500 JRH's
One 475 Linebaugh
One 45-70 on order
Most likely I'll add a 30-30 later this year.
Built like a tank, every bit as accurate as a Freedom Arms at roughly 40% of the price. Like a Ruger on steroids with a much better trigger pull. The quality control is much better than Rugers. They come with a scope mount as well. And you can choose either a Bisley or plow handle style grip.

I've got one in 460 S&W. Awesome revolver. Killed several deer with it. Got a buddy with one in 44 mag. Both shoot great.

It hurts like hell to shoot, but is fun

Too much for my hands. Would have to have a brake on it.

Finally picked this 45-70 up yesterday. Looks like BFR is back to their old tricks. The barrel is supposed to be 7.5 inches. It actually measures 8 inches from the front of the cylinder. Trigger is a disappointment and has a fair amount of creep. At some point later this year will send it back to MR and have a wide spur hammer installed as well as a trigger job. Should be good for a squirrel gun
