I know I was. But in a very smart move, Taurus built a steel barrel encased in aluminum. This gives rigidity and strength, with serious weight savings. Unloaded, the gun tips the scales at 55 ounces, far less than appearances would suggest. The barrel is ported from the factory, which should make 44 Magnum manageable in this weight class.<\/p>\n<p>MSRP is $919, which is going to make this a winner in the Magnum revolver category. Keep your eyes peeled, these will be available in May.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Taurus, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taurususa.com\" campaign=\"Taurus\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***Check out GunsAmerica for your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?Keyword=Taurus\" campaign=\"Taurus\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Taurus<\/a>.***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building on the success of the Taurus Raging Bull, this year we were treated to a new revolver built for the hunting market.

The Raging Hunter, with all the features a handgun hunter needs.  World-famous hunter Fred Eichler was on hand to fill us in on the details. Fitting, since he had a hand in the development. You can also find a video of Fred harvesting an antelope with a Taurus Tracker in 357 Magnum, at 133 yards. It is always nice to have an expert end user involved in the development of a new gun.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2018-02-06T19:10:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-08-21T18:58:29+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":800,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A9946.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Clay Martin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/x.com\/wayofftheres","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Clay Martin","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/"},"author":{"name":"Clay Martin","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/2d1bfff6535fbff35f392292b3a6438a"},"headline":"Bad News Bears: .44 Magnum 6-Shot Raging Hunter \u2014 SHOT Show 2018","datePublished":"2018-02-06T19:10:00+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-21T18:58:29+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/"},"wordCount":353,"commentCount":24,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A9946.jpg","keywords":[".44 Mag","Buzz","Column","Feature Articles","Hunting","revolver","Revolvers","SHOT Show 2018","Taurus"],"articleSection":["Authors","Clay Martin","Gun Reviews","SHOT Show 2018"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/","name":"Bad News Bears: .44 Magnum 6-Shot Raging Hunter \u2014 SHOT Show 2018","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A9946.jpg","datePublished":"2018-02-06T19:10:00+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-21T18:58:29+00:00","description":"Bad News Bears: .44 Magnum 6-Shot Raging Hunter \u2014 SHOT Show 2018 - Uncategorized","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A9946.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/350A9946.jpg","width":1200,"height":800,"caption":"Bad News Bears: .44 Magnum 6-Shot Raging Hunter \u2014 SHOT Show 2018"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bad-news-bears-44-magnum\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Bad News Bears: .44 Magnum 6-Shot Raging Hunter \u2014 SHOT Show 2018"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/","name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","description":"Gun Reviews, Industry News, and Product Reviews for Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, Optics, and Ammunition.
