Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 6.75in

The Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 6.75in is a purpose-built big-bore revolver that doesn’t just manage recoil—it tames the beast. Chambered for the legendary .460 S&W Magnum, this six-shooter is engineered for hunters who need a hard-hitting, accurate wheelgun that can handle everything from whitetail to dangerous game at short to medium range. The factory-tuned porting and gas-expansion chamber work together to keep the muzzle down, letting you get back on target faster than you’d expect from a round this potent. I’ve seen guys at the range flinch just looking at the box—but the Raging Hunter makes the .460 feel almost civilized.

Key Features

• Factory-Tuned Porting with Gas-Expansion Chamber — Why it matters: This system redirects propellant gases to reduce muzzle rise by up to 30%, letting you keep the front sight on target for quicker follow-up shots. It’s the difference between a flinch and a flat-shooting experience.
• 6.75-Inch Lightweight Barrel Housing — Why it matters: The angular, vented shroud cuts weight without sacrificing barrel rigidity, making this revolver easier to carry on long hunts while still delivering the accuracy you need for a 50-yard shot on a hog.
• Picatinny Optics Rail — Why it matters: You can mount a red dot or low-power scope directly to the frame, turning this revolver into a precision hunting tool. No need for aftermarket drilling—it’s ready out of the box.
• Adjustable Rear Sight with Fixed Front — Why it matters: The rear sight gives you windage and elevation adjustments for fine-tuning, while the fixed front stays zeroed under heavy recoil. It’s a proven setup for field reliability.
• Rubber Grip with Cushioned Insert — Why it matters: The insert absorbs shock and fills your palm, reducing felt recoil and preventing the gun from twisting in your hand. This is a must-have when you’re pushing a 300-grain bullet at 2,200 fps.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the handgun hunter who wants a round that can drop a bear or elk but doesn’t want to get beat up doing it. It’s also for the collector who appreciates the engineering behind a big-bore revolver that actually shoots flat. If you’re the guy who brings a .44 Magnum to the range and wishes for more, the Raging Hunter is your next step.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Recoil management is best-in-class for a .460—the porting and grip work together to reduce muzzle flip dramatically.
• Pro: Optics-ready Picatinny rail means you can mount a red dot without gunsmithing.
• Pro: Versatile caliber—shoots .460 S&W, .454 Casull, and .45 Colt, so you can plink cheaply and hunt seriously.
• Con: At 53 ounces empty, it’s heavy for a belt holster—plan for a chest rig or shoulder holster for all-day carry. Honest trade-off for the power.

Comparison

Feature	Taurus Raging Hunter 460 6.75in	Smith & Wesson Model 460V 7.5in	Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 2.5in
Caliber	.460 S&W Magnum	.460 S&W Magnum	.454 Casull (no .460)
Barrel Length	6.75 in	7.5 in	2.5 in
Weight (empty)	53 oz	65 oz	45 oz
Optics Rail	Yes (Picatinny)	No (drill/tap only)	No
Porting	Factory-tuned with gas-expansion chamber	No porting	No porting
MSRP	$929.44	$1,399	$1,099

The Raging Hunter undercuts the competition in price while offering features the others lack—specifically the integrated optics rail and factory porting. The Smith is heavier and pricier, and the Ruger doesn’t chamber .460 at all.

FAQ

Is the Taurus Raging Hunter 460 S&W Magnum 6.75in accurate at 100 yards?

Yes, with proper ammunition and a steady rest, this revolver can hold 3-4 inch groups at 100 yards. The 6.75-inch barrel and adjustable sights give you the precision needed for ethical hunting shots at that range. Many users report sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards with factory loads.

Can I shoot .454 Casull and .45 Colt in this revolver?

Absolutely. Per Taurus specs, the Raging Hunter chambered in .460 S&W Magnum is rated for .460 S&W, .454 Casull, and .45 Colt. This gives you a ton of flexibility—use .45 Colt for cheap practice, .454 for deer, and .460 for bear or elk.

Does the Picatinny rail come with mounting screws?

Yes, the rail is pre-drilled and includes the necessary screws for mounting optics. You’ll need a compatible red dot or scope base (most standard Picatinny mounts work). No additional machining required.

How does the gas-expansion chamber work?

The chamber sits just ahead of the cylinder and captures propellant gases from the barrel porting. These gases expand and slow down before exiting, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise. It’s a Taurus-exclusive design that’s proven on their Raging series.
