The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 6.75in Two-Tone 5rd is a purpose-built hunting revolver that brings serious power to bear on short- to mid-range big game. Chambered in the devastating .460 S&W Magnum, this large-frame revolver pairs an angular, lightweight barrel housing with factory porting and a gas-expansion chamber to keep muzzle rise manageable and speed follow-up shots. The two-tone finish—matte stainless cylinder and barrel with a black frame—adds corrosion resistance and a tactical look that fits the field or the gun safe.

Key Features
- Gas-Expansion Chamber: Redirects propellant gases forward, reducing felt recoil and muzzle flip—critical for quick follow-up shots on moving game.
- Factory Ported Barrel: Four large ports vent gas upward, taming the .460 Magnum’s bark so you stay on target without a brake add-on.
- Integrated Picatinny Rail: Mount a red dot or scope directly to the barrel housing for precise shot placement at hunting distances.
- Cushioned Rubber Grips: Soft insert absorbs shock, protecting your hands during extended range sessions or heavy-recoil loads.
- 5-Round Capacity: Balanced for reload speed and cylinder strength—enough for a clean kill without excess bulk.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the hunter who needs one gun for bear, elk, or wild boar at ranges out to 150 yards. It also appeals to the handgunner who wants a powerful backup when hiking grizzly country. The Raging Hunter’s porting and gas-expansion system make it shootable for experienced shooters who aren’t afraid of recoil but want to stay fast on target.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Factory porting reduces muzzle rise without aftermarket work; multi-caliber compatibility (.460, .454, .45 Colt) for practice or reduced loads; Picatinny rail accepts modern optics.
- Cons: At 53 oz unloaded, it’s heavy for all-day carry on a belt—better suited for chest rigs or pack carry. The double-action trigger pull is heavier than single-action, typical for large-frame revolvers but noticeable during rapid fire.

FAQ
What calibers can the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 shoot?
It chambers .460 S&W Magnum, .454 Casull, and .45 Colt. This lets you practice with lighter .45 Colt loads or use full-power .460 for hunting.
Is the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 good for concealed carry?
No—at 53 oz and a 6.75-inch barrel, it’s a hunting or open-carry revolver. Not suitable for CCW due to weight and size.
Does the Raging Hunter come with a scope mount?
The revolver includes an integrated Picatinny rail on the barrel housing. You’ll need to purchase rings or a mount separately for your optic.
How does the porting affect noise and recoil?
Factory porting reduces muzzle rise by about 30% (per Taurus specs) but increases perceived noise for the shooter. Ear protection is mandatory.
