Nice! Really wish this gun was at a lower price point, I have an S&W 500 pistol that I really enjoy and reload for and i think it needs a lever gun companion in 500. While I was hearing the gong hits it occurred to me that Hickok45 should get gongs tuned to specific musical notes and give us a concert!

[@everettclunie3525]

The sling attachment, its recessed, inter-girly there. Nice feature! And more length is always good when dealing with the expander. Good bit of advise haha. But all joking aside, this is a sweet looking rig. The figure of the walnut caught my eye right off the bat. Beautiful. Would love to see how the premium stock looks on these, and I would love to own one someday myself. One day I may! as they say. Thanks for sharing this one with us Hickok, keep em comin!

Made right here in Wyoming. They take their hunting seriously around these parts.

[@chuckm4540]

Colorado loves Wyoming. Neighbors to the north who still sell fireworks and magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.

[@Iceaxehikes]

@Christopher Marlowe Residents may carry concealed or open, loaded weapons in Wyoming except for a very few places. However, we use good judgement as well. Even though you can legally carry your AR-15 down main street, anywhere in Wyoming, only dicks do that. Most seem to conceal carry pistols and revolvers. And I only know that because a few here have told me. It is low key unless you are in the hills, or during hunting season. Medicine for 2 legged pests is kept in a pocket, waistband, chest holster, under a counter, or in a glovebox. You won't see it.

[@Iceaxehikes]

@Christopher Marlowe here is the logic; The bad guy has the drop on you; always. His turn first. If you are a ding dong with the AR on a 2 point sling; you get the bullet or get robbed first. Now; if you are carrying concealed; Smith and Wesson 640 .357 inside waistband, or a Glock 19 or a Ruger LCP. He doesn't know what you got or where you got it. You wait your turn. But at least you get a turn. In a state with Constitutional Carry like Wyoming, everyone can and may carry open.. but very few do you will find. Better to have an ace in the hole than lay all your cards on the table up front.

3manfan you can get anywhere from the lowest weight 45/70 all the way to 700 grains, as a cartridge 500 s&w surpasses anything a 45/70 can do

[@jckeltz]

That may be, but there's nothing I need a 700grn bullet for. The 540grn Garret will take anything that your mentioned 700grn will. A large critter won't think "Hey, I was just smoked by a 500 S&W....sure glad he didn't use a 45-70 on me"......& via-a-versus. If you want to throw a minimum of $2500 out for one of these, go for it. I've owned my 1895 for decades & I'd rather use that $2500 on other things. The 500 doesn't do anything the 45-70 can already do. It only has more energy on paper. Animals don't care about what's on paper. There are many an Elephant that have been dispatched with a heavy 45-70 & there's nothing that walks the earth larger than that.

Beautiful piece of kit! That's a moose-in-the-brush-gun if I ever saw one.. I've kind of wondered why the .500S&W hasn't become more popular in the otherwise popular lever action market but I guess designing a rifle around that fat cartridge jerks up the price a tad too much for the common man's wallet. When looking at the muzzle velocities in long barreled revolvers for this caliber it's no wonder how shooting it through a rifle pipe jerks up the ft.lbs into a whole new realm.

Yeah, plus it took a smaller start-up company to do it, one that seems interested in making high quality rifles. A larger company, such as Marlin or Winchester, could build a rifle for this cartridge and sell it for less money. Of course, it still would not be in the same quality, I'd guess.

If they've left even a couple of mm's for the wood to shrink due time and the fact that they've built a purpose-modified 1886-action, which was never cheap to manufacture in the first place, carved the thing out of stainless steel and coated it on top of it I'd pretty much call this a connaisseur's tool.. Something for the person who knows exactly what he needs/wants or for somebody who already has a cabin full of Mauser, Blaser, Kimber and Sako hunting rifles.. I'd love one for myself too though.. I never stop being fascinated by something mechanical, preferebly ols-schoolish built to the specs.. :D

You just introduced me to my next member of the family! I had a Ruger Model 96 and sold it to my dad and have felt empty ever since. Great video as usual.

You may inherit it someday.

Those were the swift a-frame federals . Those are 325 grain and the other box has the barnes expanders. You had two different ones that I seen . Keep up the awesome content 😎👍🏻

[@claydayungin7833]

I need one

[@frick_dude5017]

Too bad they're $2500 a piece. :(

[@Sharps.50]

Love that Rifle , always liked the 45/70 but that .500 is awesome & the sound of that lever action !!!.

[@ronnieskaggs8148]

The 500 SW has comparable power and speed if not more than the 4570

It's so odd to know that when he nudges back it isn't fake. That's insane I wonder what's the gun with the strongest kick
