Since the cowboy era, it’s been common practice to get a lever-action rifle in the same caliber as your sidearm. The idea was simple: Tote a rifle that shoots your handgun loads, and you’ve just simplified your life. Though the practice isn’t quite necessary today, the tradition of offering lever-action rifles in handgun calibers lives on. One such rifle: Big Horn Armory's Model 89, which is chambered in the punishing .500 S&W Mag. Learn more about it with the video embedded above, hosted by Associate Editor Jon Draper.
