[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1923031, member: 113501"] FA are beautiful, my BFR is cool (not a .454). I had trouble justifying the price of a FA for the shooting I do. For the range toy I wanted, the BFR works. I can't comment on accuracy since I haven't tried a FA but the BFR would probably do better if I scoped it. A flinch will cover up any difference in mechanical accuracy probably. A Ruger sent out to a top level revolver smith for a new barrel and cylinder would probably do everything just as well and might be cheaper. I have heard that the BFR frame is cast by Ruger before Magnum Research machines it so you kind of get a Ruger either way if you choose one of those. I'm not sure how FA makes their frames but I wouldn't be surprised if they started with a Casting made by Ruger too. By the way, Ruger is one of the world's best investment casting foundries so this isn't a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
