Product Information & Specs
Seller Description For This Firearm
The Taurus Raging Hunter is a powerful, large-frame revolver designed for serious hunters and enthusiasts who demand strength, accuracy, and versatility in a handgun. Known for its distinctive and rugged design, the Raging Hunter stands out with a number of features that give it both an imposing presence and impressive performance.
Appearance and Build:
The Raging Hunter has a bold appearance, with a matte stainless-steel finish or sometimes a blued steel option, depending on the model. The frame is robust and beefy, giving the revolver an almost intimidating look, which is appropriate considering it’s chambered in high-powered calibers like .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and even .480 Ruger. The barrel is typically 8.375 inches in length (though other barrel lengths are available), which helps to tame the recoil of such powerful cartridges while also aiding in longer-range accuracy. The revolver’s cylinder is large, with enough space to hold five rounds of ammunition in the heavy-duty chamber.
Ergonomics and Grip:
One of the standout features of the Raging Hunter is its custom-designed grip. Taurus uses a rubberized, ergonomic grip that is textured for better control and comfort, even during extended shooting sessions. The grip is designed to reduce felt recoil, and while it’s larger to accommodate the size of the revolver, it’s surprisingly comfortable in the hand due to its shape and weight distribution. The grip also has a recoil-absorbing material that mitigates some of the punch from the heavy loads the Raging Hunter is capable of firing.
Sight and Accuracy:
The revolver is equipped with an adjustable rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight, which makes it easier to line up shots in low-light conditions or during rapid target acquisition. The sights are designed to provide a clear, visible point of aim, while the long barrel enhances accuracy over longer distances. The adjustable rear sight is ideal for fine-tuning the point of impact, while the fixed front sight is designed to endure heavy recoil without shifting.
Performance and Recoil:
As expected from a revolver chambered in heavy calibers, the Raging Hunter is built to handle significant recoil. The advanced porting system, typically found on the barrel, works to reduce muzzle rise and recoil, which helps maintain accuracy between shots. Despite its size and weight, this revolver does have a hefty recoil, but the overall design helps to mitigate the impact, making it more manageable than one might expect from a revolver of its power. It’s a firearm that’s ideal for large-game hunting, such as elk, bear, and boar, where stopping power is paramount.
Overall Impressions:
The Taurus Raging Hunter is designed for those who appreciate heavy-duty revolvers and need something that can deliver reliable, potent firepower. Whether used for hunting, target shooting, or defense in rugged environments, the Raging Hunter’s combination of strength, accuracy, and recoil mitigation makes it a unique and powerful firearm.
With its solid construction, long barrel, and ergonomic features, the Raging Hunter is a heavy-hitting revolver that commands attention and provides performance to match its bold design.
