There’s no denying lever-action rifles have a hold on American shooters. They have a storied history with a modern application, and simply put, they’re just cool. On this episode of American Hunter’s #SundayGunday, we’re taking a closer look at a lever-action rifle that adds a big-bore .500 Smith and Wesson chambering to that appeal, as well as the ability to be taken down into two parts for easy transport: The Model 89 500 S&W Take Down from Big Horn Armory.

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.
