Overview – A New Era of Revolver Accuracy

The TAURUS Raging Hunter represents a bold step forward in big-bore revolver design. Winner of the prestigious 2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year Golden Bullseye Award, this next-generation revolver combines innovative engineering with proven stopping power. Chambered in the legendary .357 Magnum, the Raging Hunter is specifically built for hunters and sport shooters who demand precision, controllability, and reliability in the field.

For this reason, whether you need a personal defense weapon against dangerous game, a reliable handgun for hunting backup, or a powerful revolvert for the range, the TAURUS Raging Hunter delivers exceptional performance. With a 5 1/8-inch barrel and 7-round capacity, this revolver offers more firepower than traditional six-shooters while maintaining outstanding accuracy.

Unlike mass-produced items such as some glock pistolen or the sig sauer p365, the Raging Hunter is purpose-built for the unique demands of handgun hunting. Its revolutionary angular barrel design, factory-tuned porting, and gas expansion chamber work together to reduce muzzle lift for quicker target acquisition. Consequently, when you revolver kaufen this TAURUS from sportwaffenshop.com, you receive a purpose-built hunting revolver that firearms experts have called “singularly the most accurate double-action .357 Magnum revolver I have ever experienced.”

Fact: The .357 Magnum cartridge first appeared in 1935. It quickly became the most powerful factory handgun cartridge of its era. Col. Doug Wesson successfully used the first .357 Magnum revolvers to hunt pronghorn antelope, elk, moose, and even grizzly bear. Today, with modern ammunition technology, the .357 Magnum remains an exceptionally effective hunting cartridge for deer-sized game, antelope, and feral pigs.

Technical Specifications

Key Features – Innovation for the Hunter

7-Shot Cylinder – More Firepower

The Raging Hunter sets itself apart from traditional .357 Magnum revolvers with its generous capacity.

First, the cylinder holds 7 rounds of .357 Magnum or .38 Special ammunition. Therefore, you get one more shot than conventional six-shot revolvers like the colt python or Smith & Wesson 686.

Second, the cylinder features dual locking – locked both at the front and rear with thumb locks. The cylinder releases by pushing the rear lock forward while pushing the front thumb piece downward. Consequently, cylinder operation remains secure and positive.

Third, the cylinder is machined from alloy steel with a matte black oxide finish. This ensures durability and corrosion resistance even in harsh field conditions.

For hunters who also carry a rem 700 bolt action rifle, the Raging Hunter’s 7-shot capacity provides peace of mind in the field when dealing with dangerous game.

Ported Barrel & Gas Expansion Chamber – Reduced Muzzle Lift

The Raging Hunter incorporates advanced recoil-reduction technology.

To begin with, the barrel features factory-tuned porting – four round holes on both sides of the front sight. These ports direct propellant gases upward, effectively counteracting muzzle rise.

In addition, a specially designed gas expansion chamber works in conjunction with the porting to disperse gases directionally. Consequently, muzzle flip is significantly reduced, allowing faster target acquisition for follow-up shots.

The result is a .357 Magnum revolver that is remarkably comfortable to shoot. Even without padded shooting gloves, the recoil remains minimal enough for extended range sessions.

For hunters who rely on tierabwehrspray as a non-lethal option, the Raging Hunter offers a controllable, powerful alternative when the spray is no longer sufficient. The reduced muzzle flip ensures you stay on target for quick follow-up shots.

Revolutionary Angular Barrel Design – Lightweight Yet Robust

The Raging Hunter features a unique sleeved barrel construction.

First, the barrel itself consists of a steel sleeve inserted into an aluminum housing. This construction reduces overall weight without sacrificing strength.

Second, the housing features a full-length underlug that adds weight forward. This improves balance and reduces perceived recoil.

Third, the top of the shroud, from the front of the frame to approximately 2 inches behind the front sight ramp, consists of a wide Picatinny rail with 13 mounting slots. This integrated rail system provides a rock-solid platform for scope mounting.

For hunters who own a benelli m4 for tactical applications or a m870 remington for hunting, the Raging Hunter’s lightweight yet robust construction makes it an ideal companion for the field.

Picatinny Rail – Optics Ready

The integrated Picatinny rail is a standout feature of the Raging Hunter.

To begin with, the rail is machined directly into the barrel shroud – not an add-on accessory. Therefore, it provides exceptional strength and zero retention.

Second, the rail allows easy mounting of red dot sights or traditional scopes. For testing, a Leupold 2X LER scope with Leupold PRW rings was used with excellent results.

Third, the rail runs from the front of the frame to approximately 2 inches behind the front sight ramp. Consequently, you have ample space for eye relief adjustment.

For hunters who also use a rem 700 with a precision scope, the Raging Hunter’s optics-ready design allows you to mount a red dot or scope for low-light hunting situations.

Adjustable Rear Sight & Fixed Front Sight

The Raging Hunter comes with excellent iron sights for those who prefer open sight shooting.

First, the rear sight is fully adjustable for both windage and elevation. The rear sight blade is also slanted backwards to help reduce glare.

Second, the front sight is a black post pinned into the ramp. This provides a clear, non-reflective aiming point.

Third, the square notch of the rear sight perfectly matches the front sight for most shooters’ eyes.

The rear sight fits into the top of the frame. Moreover, the entire unit is easily adjustable, making zeroing for different ammunition types or hunting conditions simple and precise.

Cushion-Insert Grips – Unprecedented Comfort

The Raging Hunter features bespoke cushion-insert grips exclusive to the Raging Series.

First, the grips are full wrap-around, finger-groove stippled rubber grips. Therefore, they provide excellent traction even in wet or sweaty conditions.

Second, the grips feature a built-in red-colored cushion insert along the back strap. This cushion absorbs significant recoil energy, making the .357 Magnum comfortable to shoot even without gloves.

Third, the ergonomic design offers unprecedented control while shooting. Consequently, you maintain a secure grip even during rapid fire sequences.

For collectors who appreciate the classic lines of a colt python or harrington and richardson, the Raging Hunter’s modern ergonomics offer a different, more aggressive shooting experience.

Accuracy – Astonishing Performance

The TAURUS Raging Hunter has earned a reputation for exceptional accuracy. Independent testing has produced remarkable results.

Test Results with Scope (25 yards)

Author’s conclusion: *“With all the testing I did – 20 loads fired both with the scope in place and iron sights – the largest groups were 1-1/4 inches, which to me is astounding. One can only wonder what this pistol would do with a decent trigger pull and perhaps someone much younger who can really shoot.”*

Test Results with Iron Sights (20 yards)

Fact: The tester concluded that the Raging Hunter is *“singularly the most accurate double-action .357 Magnum revolver I have ever experienced”*. This level of accuracy rivals custom-built competition revolvers. Furthermore, it makes the Raging Hunter a serious contender for hunting applications.

DA/SA Trigger – The One Consideration

The Raging Hunter features a DA/SA (Double Action / Single Action) trigger system.

Double Action: The double-action pull is described as “quite easy and smooth”. For this reason, it remains suitable for rapid fire situations where speed is prioritized over precision.

Single Action: The single-action pull registers approximately 7.5 pounds on a trigger gauge. For context, this is roughly double what many dedicated hunting revolvers offer. However, the heavy trigger is an easy fix for a qualified gunsmith.

For competition shooters who own a cz shadow 2 target with its sub-2-pound trigger, the Raging Hunter’s heavier SA pull requires more deliberate effort. Nevertheless, the exceptional accuracy of the revolver compensates for this single shortcoming.

The .357 Magnum Cartridge – A Legendary Hunting Round

The .357 Magnum has a storied history as a hunting cartridge.

Historical Background: In 1935, ballistics expert Phil Sharpe and Col. Doug Wesson collaborated to develop the .357 Magnum. Using the first .357 Magnum revolvers, Wesson successfully hunted pronghorn antelope, elk, moose, and even grizzly bear.

Modern Capability: With current technological advances in ammunition and bullets, the .357 Magnum is better than ever. The author of the GUNS Magazine test stated he would not hesitate to use the .357 Magnum on deer-sized game, antelope, or feral pigs with the proper ammunition.

Versatility: The Raging Hunter can also fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition. Therefore, you can practice with less expensive, lower-recoil ammunition and save the full-power .357 Magnum loads for hunting.

For hunters who also own a k98 mauser for traditional hunting or a rem 700 for long-range precision, the Raging Hunter in .357 Magnum is an excellent choice for short to medium-range hunting scenarios.

Who Is This Revolver For?

For Handgun Hunters

The Raging Hunter was specifically designed for hunting. The 7-shot capacity, exceptional accuracy, and integrated Picatinny rail make it an ideal choice for hunters pursuing deer, hogs, antelope, and other medium game. Additionally, the ported barrel and gas expansion chamber reduce muzzle flip, allowing faster follow-up shots.

Compared to the colt python, which is often considered the pinnacle of .357 Magnum revolvers for collectors, the Raging Hunter is a purpose-built hunting tool with modern features like the Picatinny rail and recoil-reduction technology.

For Hunters as Backup

Carry the Raging Hunter as a backup to your rem 700 bolt action rifle or sauer 505. The .357 Magnum is adequate for finishing shots on wounded game. Moreover, the 7-round capacity provides peace of mind in the field.

For hunters who carry tierabwehrspray as a non-lethal option, the Raging Hunter offers a powerful, controllable lethal option when the spray is insufficient.

For Sport Shooters / Range Enthusiasts

The Raging Hunter is remarkably accurate – producing 5/8-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The reduced recoil makes extended range sessions comfortable. Furthermore, the 7-shot cylinder means you spend less time reloading.

For shooters who also own a cz shadow 2 target for competition, the Raging Hunter offers a completely different shooting experience – the raw power of the .357 Magnum in a hunting-focused package.

For Collectors

The Raging Hunter is an award-winning design (2019 American Hunter Handgun of the Year). As a significant release from Taurus, it represents modern American revolver innovation.

In a collection alongside classics such as colt python, colt m1911s, tommy gun, m1 garand, or colt navy, the Raging Hunter represents the modern evolution of the hunting revolver.

For Owners of M870 Remington or Benelli M4

Those who own an m870 remington for hunting or a benelli m4 for tactical applications know how important regular training is. The Raging Hunter complements your collection as a powerful handgun for hunting scenarios and range training.

Unlike a harrington and richardson from past decades, which serves more as a collector’s item, the Raging Hunter is a serious hunting tool built for the modern sportsman.

For Shooters Who Own Multiple Firearms

If your collection includes glock pistolen, a sig sauer p365, a glock 19, or a colt python, the Raging Hunter adds dedicated hunting capability to your arsenal. Additionally, the .357 Magnum caliber shares ammunition commonality with many lever-action rifles like the 70 winchester (Model 1892 or 94 in .357 Mag).

Scope Mounting & Optics

The Raging Hunter is exceptionally optics-ready.

Picatinny Rail: The integrated rail on top of the barrel shroud provides 13 mounting slots. For this reason, you can securely mount virtually any optic.

Red Dot Sights: For fast target acquisition at typical hunting distances, a red dot sight such as the Trijicon RMR or Holosun 507C is an excellent choice.

Traditional Scopes: For maximum precision, you can mount a 2X LER (Long Eye Relief) scope. In testing, a Leupold 2X LER scope with Leupold PRW rings was used with outstanding results.

For hunters who also use a rem 700 with a precision scope, the ability to mount an optic on the Raging Hunter allows for consistent sighting systems across your hunting firearms.

Ammunition Recommendations

The TAURUS Raging Hunter performs exceptionally well with a variety of .357 Magnum ammunition.

For hunting / precision (tested best groups):

• Buffalo Bore 158 JHP – 3/4-inch groups at 25 yards

• Black Hills 158 JHP – 5/8-inch groups at 25 yards

• SIG SAUER 125 FMJ – 3/4-inch groups at 25 yards

For cast bullet enthusiasts:

• NEI 200-gr flat-nose gas check with 12.0 grains of #2400 – 1,300+ fps, 1-1/8-inch groups

• Lyman #358429 Keith bullet (160 gr) with 14.0 grains of #2400 – 1,250 fps, 1-inch groups

For practice / training:

• .38 Special – less expensive, significantly less recoil

• .38 Special +P – moderate recoil, good for transitioning to full-power loads

For hunters who rely on tierabwehrspray as a non-lethal option: The .357 Magnum with quality hollow point ammunition provides deep penetration and reliable expansion for ethical hunting and defensive situations.
