Big Horn Armory Unveils the SpikeDriver Tactical .500 S&W Lever-Action Rifle

Posted By TheGunMagStaff On Wednesday, April 2, 2025 12:42 PM. Under Featured  

Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, has announced the launch of the SpikeDriver Tactical, a lever-action rifle chambered in the formidable .500 S&W Magnum.

Designed to handle any challenge, this rifle is built for hunters, tactical shooters, and firearm enthusiasts who demand power, versatility, and reliability in a single platform.

The American Black Walnut stock and forend are fitted with integral front and stud rear sling swivel mounts for a variety of sling attachments. The pistol grip buttstock utilizes a 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator pad to tame recoil, along with the “tank” style brake at the muzzle. The buttstock and forend are given multiple coats of a durable synthetic satin finish to withstand the elements. The wood is then glass-bedded to the metal parts, ensuring extra accuracy and durability. The standard Skinner rear sight is mated with a fiber optic front sight for faster target acquisition. The large, hunter-friendly curved lever enables ease of operation, even with gloved hands.

The receivers and steel parts are manufactured using 17-4PH stainless steel, and barrels are made using 416 stainless steel. Proudly built in the USA, the SpikeDriver Tactical continues the rich legacy of American firearms design and development. Designed and built from the ground up and solidly engineered using the finest materials, techniques, and CNC technology, the SpikeDriver Tactical embodies the best of the Models 1886 and 1892 lever actions in a modern platform capable of handling the powerful 500 S&W Magnum while delivering 300-600 fps more than the revolver.

The SpikeDriver Tactical lever-action rifle delivers unmatched stopping power, capable of firing bullets ranging from 200 grains to an earth-shattering 700 grains. This incredible versatility allows shooters to confidently take on any game animal on the planet or face any defensive situation with authority.

“The SpikeDriver Tactical is an evolution of our legacy of producing high-caliber lever-action rifles,” said Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory. “With its hunter black nitride finish, Scout Scope mount, and M-LOK tactical forend, this rifle offers durability and modularity modern shooters demand while staying true to the time-tested lever-action platform.”

The SpikeDriver Tactical is now available to order at www.bighornarmory.com. Lead times are currently estimated at four to six weeks. Customers can also select from a variety of optional accessories, including a BHA logo cheekpiece (RH/LH), a Rhodesian sling, a ballistic cloth scabbard, and mounts for optics such as Leupold Delta Point, Sig Romeo1, or Trijicon RMR.
