Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, has announced the BHA Model 89 500 S&W lever-action rifle appears in Jim Scoutten’s Shooting USA’s July 15 program on the Outdoor Channel.
The show, “All Army Small Arms 2020”, also features the history of big calibers, including Dirty Harry’s legendary .44 Mag and today’s biggest civilian caliber, the .500 Mag.
John Scoutten takes the Model 89 out to the range where the powerful caliber sets the target spinning.
“Jim is an icon in the firearms industry, and Big Horn Armory is honored to have him bring the Model 89 to his viewership,” Greg Buchel, founder and president of BHA, commented.
What makes the Big Horn Model 89 500 S&W legendary in its own time? It’s built on the foundation of one of America’s greatest guns, the lever-action rifle. Designed for quick repeat shots, the lever-action rifle settled the west, became a lawman’s right arm, hunted big game, and protected the rancher and homesteader. BHA’s Model 89 is built on that legacy, right here in America, on a platform rugged enough to handle the powerful .500 S&W Magnum. Precision machined from 17-4 stainless steel and hardened for consistent and reliable in-the-field and downrange performance. The Model 89 features a large, hunter-friendly curved lever that allows for ease of operation, even with gloves. The stock and fore-end are made from select American black walnut and finished with several coats of a weather durable synthetic satin finish. The pistol-grip buttstock features a one-inch, recoil-taming butt pad. The Model 89 also features integral front and stud rear sling swivel mounts and aperture rear and post front sights. Options are plenty for the hunter who desires a completely customized spike driver.
The program will air 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, and 8 p.m. Central on Wednesday, July 15.
