12 Feb Model 89 – A Bison in One Shot!
“My shot was at 136 yards and it only took one with the Big Horn Armory Model 89!”
“My guide was super impressed with the knock down power of the Big Horn Armory 500 S&W Model 89.”
“Just a quick pic on my hunt in Plains, MT 01/20/2025. I had you guys build me a Model 89 in 500S&W with case hardened steel, octagon barrel and fancy wood. I had no intention on shooting this rifle as I wanted to pass on to my boy when he grew up. In fact, I bought a standard model 89 to just shoot and this gun was going to be a wall hanger only. Well, I decided that 10 rounds or less through it would be fine! This hunt in fact, strengthened the heirloom value I felt.”
“My guide was super impressed with the knock down power of the Big Horn Armory Model 89 chambered in 500 S&W Magnum. He told me before the hunt that it usually takes 5-6 shots with 45-70s to get them to go down so be ready to throw lead! My shot was at 136 yards and it only took one! I hit this 2100lbs, 10yr old bull, right behind the front shoulder and 6 seconds after I hit him he dumped over. This gun delivered what was needed. Super impressed with the factory Skinner sights and this rifle’s overall smooth shooting.”
“I own several lever actions and this rifle is definitely right at the top in quality/finish. Absolute gem of a rifle and look forward to passing it on to my son!”
Thanks again!
