Big Horn Armory has released a takedown version of their Model 89 lever action rifle. The takedown mechanism of this rifle was designed by none other than John Moses Browning himself. By the way, Model 89 lever guns are also basically Browning designs as they have Winchester Model 1886/1892 pattern actions. In fact, 89 in the model name of BHA’s lever gun is the arithmetic mean of 86 and 92, because size-wise the Big Horn Armory Model 89 is right between the Winchester Model 1886 and 1892. Let’s take a look at the specs and features of the Big Horn Armory Model 89 Take Down lever action rifle.
