Big Horn Armory's Model 90 .460 S&W Magnum

Animals that can bite back can make trekking into remote spots problematical. Whether you are hunting these animals or merely passing through their territory, carrying a powerful stopper rifle is more than reassuring; it's almost a necessity. A semi-auto powerful enough for these kinds of critters is too heavy to pack, and a revolver in the same power category constantly threatens to send your pants on a trip to your ankles. But a fast-handling, handy and quick-shooting lever action like Big Horn Armory's new Model 90 in .460 S&W Magnum is just about the perfect answer to this conundrum.

Sure, it's a handy thing to send a big chunk of lead and/or copper into an ornery bruin or boar at halitosis range, but when you can reach out and touch them from a distance you can elevate your problem-solving skills to a better level. The .460 S&W Magnum is 11-percent flatter shooting than its big brother, the .500 S&W Magnum over 200 yards and has as much as 20-percent more energy at the muzzle when fired in a Big Horn Armory Model 90 carbine. Like all of its products, Big Horn Armory's Model 90 rifle and carbine are made in the United States of America with a level of craftsmanship and reliability rarely seen today. The new Model 90 is the first repeating rifle for this powerful cartridge. It will enable hunters to use 45 Colt, 454 Casull and 460 S&W in one rifle. Big Horn Armory's Model 90 is made using 17-4PH stainless steel or 4140 chrome moly steel and the finest woods. Available metal finishes will include Matte SS, Hunter Black and Color Casehardened.
