I recently found out the Bisley gripped BFR was available and not a custom order feature. Picked this up from Gun Broker, chambered in 500 JRH, 5 1/2" barrel. 2 lb 14 oz trigger pull with .0025 cylinder gap.

That might be the best looking BFR in the best configuration that I've seen.
How's the reach to the hammer spur?
Accidental factory bonus- (mostly) regulated ERH screw!

Haven't shot it yet but hammer reach doesn't seem extreme.

Forgot to add, the barrel does measure 5 1/2" from the cylinder face unlike the older BFR's that were measured from the frame.

Is that a long cylinder ejrh? I don't think so, it only pushes the brass about half way out of the cylinder.

I only hope their new grip style shoots better than it looks...

I much prefer the new grip style to the original... at least as far as looks go...

I’d like to see one with a nice set of walnut grips. I’m a big fan of the BFR but not those whiter than white grip panels. That is a really good looking gun and we all know they are shooters.

+1... a nicely figured dark walnut grip on that stainless gun would look amazing

I only hope their new grip style shoots better than it looks... In my humble opinion, it is awesome. I have tried some horrendous recoiling loads through a number of them and they work well.

Mine is a shooter and really like the Bisley grip for 500 JRH!

Beautiful guns and I love the white grips. Awesome guns in my opinion.

Wish I ended up getting a Bisley BFR myself, I just have the standard grip frame with the rubber grips. Going to peel them off some day and try and make myself a set. Love the white grips on their guns, absolutely beautiful.
