The Big Horn Armory Model 89 SpikeDriver lever-action rifle is an ultimate big bore lever gun designed for the modern era while respecting the classic 'Old West' firearms. This remarkable piece of craftsmanship, one of only two examples to pass into our hands in years (the other just sold!), painted in stunning Hunter Black finish, is a tribute to the legendary Winchester Model 1886! However, it leaves its own mark by being the first lever-action gun to be chambered for the mighty .500 S&W Magnum round, ensuring that no big or dangerous game on any continent can stand in your way.
The rifle itself is in a like-new condition, having never been fired outside of its initial factory test. This is a testament to its immaculate care and storage, which has preserved it in pristine condition, showing no signs of prior handling or use. The beautiful black walnut butt stock and forend carry a checkering pattern that not only offers a comfortable grip but also contributes to the rifle's overall aesthetic appeal.
Notable features include an excellent rifling with sharp lands and grooves in the bore, a front ramped dovetail blade with green fiber-optic and a rear ramped, adjustable peep-hole sight. With a 5 round capacity, this rifle is designed for rapid and reliable shooting. The 22" barrel length adds to the rifle's maneuverability while maintaining its formidable profile.
It's important to note that the buck-skin bag and knife ARE NOT included in the sale. However, the rifle comes with all the original paperwork and factory box, adding to its value as a collector's item. The Model 89 SpikeDriver is proudly made in the United States by the Big Horn Armory, a company founded in 2008 with a focus on creating powerful, modern rifles steeped in classic heritage.
In conclusion, the Big Horn Armory Model 89 SpikeDriver in 500 S&W magnum caliber is not just a firearm, but a testament to the balance of power, design, and classic lever-action technology. It's a piece of history that offers an unmatched shooting experience, making it an essential addition to any firearm enthusiast's collection.
