I've had one BFR and it was really good. Worth the price. Also I've had several Freedom Arms 83 revolvers and two Bowen customs. Mechanically there's nothing built like the Frredom Arms quality. They are extremely precise.
I prefer the Freedom Arms grip and the current BFR grip over the Ruger bisley grip for my larger hands. It's just how they fit me. The one place where the Bowen revolvers excelled was mine had Bowen sights and the front xpress band style front sight. The heavy barrel and front sight Bowen puts on is simply beautiful.
My first FA83 was around $800 and I've owned several and hunted big things with them. Sold them off and gave one to my boy. I'll probably pick up another ar some point because nothing at the price point compares and is as fine. You'd have to spend lots more money to get that quality anywhere and there's many rifles not nearly as well built fetching 3k-7k+ that I refer to as "me too" rifles. No of these compare to the quality of FA
