Cody, Wyoming – February 2024 – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is pleased to introduce the Model 89 White Lightning lever action rifle in 500 S&W Magnum, made to handle whatever one gets into or needs to get out of. Combining the long tradition of great American sporting rifles with the tactical look and feel, the White Lightning provides hunters and shooters with pride in owning the best American-made lever gun available and a powerful advantage afield.

I love silly huge lever-action rifles as much as the next guy, and although this has a very hefty price tag, I would still be interested in taking this one for a spin on a pig hunt or something similar to test its merit. As always, let us know all of your thoughts about Big Horn Armory (BHA) and their M89 White Lightning .500 S&W Magnum in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
