A Big Horn 89 is a beautiful firearm. It weighs 7# 10 oz. and cost $5000 with 11% excise tax. My Rossi 454 Casull weighs 5# 14 oz. and cost $931 MSRP. I have dragged it all over Alaska and Hudson Bay for bear protection in some horrible conditions. It looks beat up but it started out looking rough when it left Brazil. I had to drill and tap the receiver for a peep sight and slick up the action a bit but it is very reliable now.
