This video reviews six prominent big-bore lever-action rifles, highlighting their features, performance, and suitability for big game hunting. The Rossi R92 is noted for its lighter weight and durability in .44 Magnum. The Marlin 1895 SBL stands out for its aesthetics and .45-70 Government capability with modern sights. The Chiappa 1886 Kodiak and Cimarron Model 71 Hogzilla Killa also chambered in .45-70 Government, focus on recoil management and user comfort. The Winchester Model 94 Trails End Takedown in .450 Marlin offers a robust, takedown design for portability. Finally, the Big Horn Armory Model 90A in .454 Casull is presented as a powerful, accurate, albeit expensive, option for the most challenging hunts.
This review of the Big Horn Armory Model 90A lever-action rifle in .454 Casull initially highlights significant feeding issues, leading to a 'disappointing' and 'unusable' firearm. However, after the manufacturer identified and corrected a mistaken lifter part (intended for .460 S&W Magnum), the rifle's function improved dramatically. The reviewer found the rifle to be well-balanced and enjoyable to shoot, with decent accuracy using open sights, though suggesting a red dot could further enhance precision.
