hcock 45 here guess what with the big
horn Armory Spike driver 500 Smith and
West and Magnum yeah I thought i' get it
out and shoot it some you know and I
need to be math I didn't invite you uh
so you know if you don't really want to
see it fired some more just uh you know
go back to dinner but I'm going to shoot
the thing and you're welcome to hang
around okay we'll talk about it a little
bit more but I'll put a link to the
first video so you can learn all about
it okay so anyway we appreciate uh now
this is a big gun it's a fairly Hefty
gun it shoots a big cartridge and I hope
you appreciate I am sacrificing my
shoulder for you all okay although I did
put a decelerator pad on it so let's
let's take a shot and I'll quit yaking I
think I'll start out with a little potm
smoke a cool I forgot to put my ears on
and guess who was first to know me
woo oh there's a
container oh man don't you love watching
what a 500 Smith and Wesson Magnum
does I think there's one left in there
I'll put him on the
gong boom didn't take long to get there
didn't take long pretty cool pretty cool
yes just a little chapter 2 fun
confessed to that a few times how I had
a 375 H&H a bolt Browning aolt uh rifle
I had a
458 uh model 70 for a while I used to
plink with and you know I remember in uh
in a recent video I don't know how
recent I I mentioned that and maybe we
haven't even posted uh John's model 70 I
think I actually said in that video that
I had never fired a model 70 before to
that gun and it occurred to me later
wait a minute I had a 458 Win Mag I just
lied I just lied to our viewers I don't
like to do that I just totally forgot
about that it's been I don't know 10 15
years or so or something since I I notic
you got to make sure the lever's up okay
if you have trouble uh you know getting
the next one in or something the lever
kind of drops a little bit like that so
it's got to be all the way up so I think
I have
seven no I didn't see so now I know to
watch that there we go all
right big Bruiser Big
Boar quality rifle no doubt about it
let's put a couple on the target over
here oh man got it wet I've got four or
five of those targets too I apologize
I've not put them on eBay I think I'm
just going to put them all on there
maybe as you watch this they're up there
but boom
that's almost Overkill how about a
little gigantic pot
smoking yeah that's more like it a
little
bowling oh oh let's get the old Kentucky
2
L all we gave the cowboy a bass nice
what else here needs to be shot well
this watermelon uh I know what you're
thinking but it's really it's a kind of
rotten I'll shoot it
anyway H blew up a little
bit Yeah I had that one saved for
another video and it uh it was basically
hollowed out when I picked it up almost
mush in my
hands so yeah go to the first video if
you want to learn uh anything about this
much uh I won't repeat all of what I
said it's just they're they're made by
of course Big Horn
Armory and uh as I mentioned in the
first video I was a little surprised
that the the well not really surprised
cuz they're expensive but I was
pleasantly surprised that this is just a
really nice firearm not just a gimmick
to uh chamber the popular 500 Smith and
Wesson Magnum cartridge you know in a
rifle they are very well made and a
pretty they're really I guess a kind of
a guide gun this configuration would be
a counterpart to maybe like a Marlin
Guide Gun just a lot more expensive and
a bigger boar but uh very very nice
lever gun combination again of the uh uh
1886 Winchester and 1892 Winchester you
know except this is a model 89 right in
between because uh it's not quite as big
as the
1886 and it's not quite as small as the
1892 but it's the same uh basic action
so it's a good choice it's a good solid
strong action which you want with uh
something that is firing these big old
rounds and uh it's a thumper there's no
doubt about it I'm going to go across a
hill I am tired of those animals over
there just standing
there uh with no fear so let's put some
fear into
them there you
go where am I going
I think
low
yeah yeah let's get another
Ram went low
again yeah so I was just trying to put
some fear into I'm shooting under the
belly a little bit I believe that's
where most of those were
going uh let's shoot a few more of these
before I get uh more powerful
okay uh I don't even why I'm talking to
you all this is chapter two I'm just
having fun with this firearm and uh it's
just kind of a coincidence that you all
are
here I'm not sure how you got here
exactly how you knew I was going to be
doing a video
today how you knew we would have the
camera out and the
firearm but somehow you did so that's
okay you're always
invited let's go up uh let's try the uh
the red target the the shoot some steel
square target we appreciate their giving
that to us so check them out shoot some
steel.com there's a link in the
description and at our
website and we got more
coming all right I don't think it's been
hit with a 500
yet that'll swing it
nice I like that Pucket I'm going to go
to the gong put a couple of three on
[Music]
him put another one on
him oh sounds like a church bell doesn't
it let's go over there and hit that uh
middle plate red plate
all right we actually hit it because I
I've learned my lesson I should say
let's go over and shoot at the middle
plate not hit it because you never know
whether you're going to hit it or hit
anything as far as that goes again
notice that beautiful action that uh
that should remind you of an 1886 or an
1892
Winchester uh you know the way it's made
other than having the sight on the the
bolt you know so that's uh that's very
very familiar action if you've seen many
of our videos you've seen several lever
guns just like that one of my very
favorites so pretty cool again it's made
stainless steel and it's uh treated you
know nitrate finish and everything but
it's all stainless a really high-grade
stainless steel beautiful wood talked
about that earlier in the first
video and
uh oh
man 50 caliber 500 you know Smith and
Western Magnum about as big as you can
get you know other than going with a
muzzle loader as a reminder uh you know
in this country uh because I I don't
think you can make something bigger than
50 caliber just for General civilian use
and uh I guess 50 is big enough when you
get right down to it and we won't
complain too much right all right let's
try a couple of these babies these big
270 grain
expanders now these will get your
attention bar orange bullet the
copper those are those are interesting
okay I remember earlier uh of course
I've shot it more now not not not
thousands of rounds or anything but I've
shot a little bit more that uh these
nickel cases didn't I guess they
expanded so much they were tight getting
out all right let's try a couple oh you
know what we've got a watermelon that's
that's in intact it's not rotten so uh
one of these expander bullets ought to
expand that watermelon probably right
back all over us
John yeah you expanded it already it's
still raining
down I love it I love that oh a bowling
pin let's send him down about 5 10
yards
boom nice round I think I'll uh put one
on the red square up
there
boom and the
gone going pretty fast uh that's nice
I've got my decelerator pad so that it
makes shooting those hotter rounds more
pleasant it actually comes with a
decelerator pad you remember from first
video underneath F that's built onto it
and so I put another decelerator pad on
it does that cancel the other one out
make it an accelerator Pad but uh I need
the length again if you're new to our
videos I uh whether it's a kicking
firearm a hard kicking firearm or not I
need the added length uh because of my
long length of pull and so that makes it
feel great you may not like the looks of
it maybe I'll get a uh nice
leather Extender on there and you know
that'll look better than than rubber but
boy they they just have such a nice
practical value and you can just pop it
on there anytime you want to all right
those aren't bad I to save those though
in case uh we have some wild game that
uh uh wanders into onto the property
here those are nice rounds get a couple
more of these we got yeah got some more
of those
too all right big boore uh it's always a
good day if you're shooting a big boore
rifle or handgun and it's been a good
day today I have shot you know this
really is a good day it's a pretty fall
day it's uh it's not too far removed
from when you will be watching this okay
sometimes it's a week or two or even
longer before you see a video but you
might see this one this week and uh it's
a pretty fall day and I've been firing a
460 Smith and Wesson Magnum
today uh this 5
00 and uh probably going to fire some uh
12 gauge slugs before the day is out
okay so that means it really is a good
day lots of cool stuff all right I guess
I don't know how many shots I need well
with this thing I can't just shoot
anything but I can try for a
pig right over
oh yeah right over
it well I don't know at least he fell
that's the main thing and what else
needs to be shot over there how about
that you know I never shoot that turkey
just to the right of the barrel he gets
by without being shot a lot of
days my make it
today yeah there we go and that one's
just up from him there
too yeah there you go guys I'm sorry
I've neglected you all so much let's put
I think it's the last one on the
gong it was that's a good way to wrap it
up
man so I appreciate y'all coming out and
uh enjoying this firearm with me it's
pretty isn't it look at that on that uh
Brazilian cide too it just sort of fits
I just realize that it just Blends in
and looks pretty it is a pry rifle now
people who hate Firearms would think
that's a horrible thing to say that
that's a pry firearm no firearms are
pretty but that's their loss that's
their problem isn't it
we all know most of us that uh good
looking piece of wood and and steel
finished well very practical functional
firearm uh it's just just a lot of fun a
lot of fun whether you're a hunter or
not a lot of fun to shoot reload for
maybe and uh Hey target shoot with how's
that you know I think I've done a little
bit of that in my life so uh we few well
it's not few it's millions of us are
really lucky really fortunate that we
enjoy things like this and uh we'll
continue because we're going to make
sure we can continue with it in this
country uh it's a great hobby so many
choices not all folks can afford a $2
$3,000 rifle of course but you know we
enjoy bringing them to you and show them
to you but uh you can have just as much
fun you know with a $300 rifle a $200
Rifle right or handgun long as it works
uh how many people go out every fall or
every hunting season and take deer
whatever game Hogs or whatever with just
some old bolt action rifle that just
works you know uh not even an expensive
scope or set of sights on it uh plenty
accurate enough and fun to shoot right
so uh we don't everyone forget that you
don't have to have a $3,000 gun uh but
but it's cool to see what kinds of
things that some people are making and
what's out there so anyway I I oh man I
might just shoot this I might just shoot
all the ammo I'm sorry though I'm going
to let you all go and maybe enjoy a
little bit more don't want to keep you
