Owners speak very highly of them. Some of the reviews I read the owners were so impressed they now own several. Not easy to obtain. Current waiting time seems to be 15-18 months. I ordered one with upgraded wood about 4 months ago so am about 1 year away from ownership.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

A friend of mine ordered one a few months back. I dont know anything about them but am anxious to see it...
Evnin, 2 big horns at Epps Canada Ontario in 460! 3 at prophet river arms Alberta! Pretty sure Epps can export. Don't know about P.R.??? All in 460 though. With the $$ differents shouldn't hurt to bad. Seen one while surfing net in 500 if I see it again I'll post it. Hope this helps. GWP guy. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦
Thank ye. 460 S&W wouldn't be a bad choice either.

I wonder how the .500/.460 S&W compares to a Marlin 1895 in .45-70.
A JM Marlin 1895 is a whole helluva lot cheaper than the Big Horn.

I like the looks of the Big Horn and would like one in .500 S&W (probably somewhat more fun to shoot than my S&W .500, but I already have a JM Guide Gun that has stood me in good stead for about 25 years and I’m in cutting back mode now…inclined to stick with what works.

I rebarrelled a Rossi 92 in .460 S/W. The OEM barrel was .454C, but I was concerned about chamber support. The rebarrel is 2x on chamber support by my design. I also 5/8-24 TPI for my .45 Colt heavy subs (VERY VERY QUIET).
It will NOT cycle .460S/W, but it will "First Round" them... then wimpy old .454Cs if the .460 didn't get the job done out the gate.
Regarding the 1895... I also have one of those (threaded also). A FANTASTIC GUN. 1:16 IIRC so keep the subs under 550 grain IMHO. 405s fly very well.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Been looking at them for years but never felt like trying to explain dropping that kind of money on a firearm when I already have a pretty extensive collection. But the wife walked out the door on 8/30 of this year and after calculating cost of her health/vision/dental insurance coverage that I provided, vehicle payment, vehicle insurance, and then cost of living for her and her 2 children I am getting about a $2500/month pay raise. I decided a couple of weeks ago I was going to pull the trigger on one. Fortunately, this won't be the longest I ever waited. I waited about 22 months for my springfield professional 1911 back in 2013 or 2014.
Ive had an upgraded wood 89 on order for about 8 months now. I'm excited for when I actually get it. Should be a great bear/hog gun. Also looks very fun on 2 liters and watermelons in all the videos I've seen! Thinking I may see if I can switch to 460 and thread the barrel though so I can use my can on it.
