I have a 500 rifle,, they come to you very stiff and at the rate I'm going it'll be at least a couple more 100 rounds to smooth it out. Very easy to hit with the sight and trigger are great. Loading gate is super stiff. I'll know more by summer here as spring is my most active shooting season. The 1st brown bear that shows up in our yard this spring will feel the wrath!
I tend to use more than enough gun

Is it also made in the 460 S&W?

Yes, the Model 90 is made for the 460. But why mess around?

This rifle is interesting to me because I reviewed the .500 S&W back in 2003 when released and I began the article by stating it was likely "the best lever rifle cartridge never chambered".
I am glad the rifle was produced as the cartridge is a very useful hammer whether in revolver or lever rifle though when I wrote my piece, I discovered the bad cases made for pistol primers, the die sets were not made for the Barnes spire points and the vision that surrounded the cartridge was all handgun.
The other item of change was increasing the SAAMI pressure level after the cases were redesigned for the standard Large Rifle primer. It all happened quickly but all of these changes tended to distance the inclusion for chambering in a lever rifle, so I am glad innovation won.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Need to hug my First-year Guide Gun and make good act of contrition for the thoughts that carbine induces.

Yes, the Model 90 is made for the 460. But why mess around? A couple of handgun hunters both told me they 460 is a better hunting caliber than the 500. I don't really know. I shot a buddy's 460 late one afternoon and damn near started a prairie fire. The blast/flash was more than I was ready for.

I can understand the 500 if someone wanted a 50 cal. What does a 460 do a 45/70 won't? Is it due to short action or size?
Pedersoli builds a similar rifle for a 444 or 45/70 for much less called a "boarbuster"
