500 S&W Levergun

[Wildalaska]

Hey I hear a rumour that a 500 S&W Levergun is gonna be shown at the shot show.

I hear its gonna be on an intermediate sized action (like a little bigger than a Marlin 44 mag and a little smaller than a 336/1895)

Also heard it will have synthetic stocks and a lot of custom touches...

That sounds pretty neat, I think it'd make my list. Be nice if they made one with wood furniture though.

Sounds like Marlin's got something cooking this year. They also have a 475 Linebaugh/480 Ruger levergun comming out.

Sounds cool. The first time I looked at the .500S&W I said "I can't see buying a revolver that effing big, but it would make a great levergun round."

Winchester? Rossi? Come on, Wild - give!

I'd buy that in a flash! I too looked at a S&W 500 and didn't have any desire to even pick the thing up... however, a .50 S&W levergun would just be fun.

 

[Biff]

I thought a little bird told me it was going to be in .454 too?

Great concept but most of us would go broke feeding it.

Max Cartridge OAL the gun will accept?

Max pressure the gun will take?

I'd buy a S&W .500 levergun, especially if it holds a number of rounds....

Heh. Just restating how much I'd want it. Hm, what's the pricetag on that baby going to be?

EDIT: Also, weight, length of it? If you're savvy to the facts, that is.

Right now...Corbon factory loads...

Max pressure the gun will take?

Factory loads.....

what's the pricetag on that baby going to be?

It aint gonna be cheap. Looks like the same as our custom leverguns (were gonna do it take down and non takedown, machined from forgings, synthetic stocks, all the bells and whistles)

Weighs about 6 lbs..

Also to be made in 454.....

Bad news...proabaly wont be shipping till fall.....

Good. Gives me time to save.....
Oh, right, will there be wood stocks available?

 

[Wildalaska]

Yes

 

[4v50 Gary]

Why do they torment me so when they know the safe is stuffed?

 

[Big Boomer]

Does anyone know if this every came out? I'd love to have a lever in 500 would be a nice mate to my BFR

 

[PotatoJudge]

Yeah, this caught my eye too. I thought "Man, how old does this thread have to be for Wildhasn'tpostedheresince2005alaska to have started it."
