Big Horn Armory (BHA) Launches First-Ever Tactical Model 89 Take Down

Posted By GunMagStaff On Thursday, November 13, 2025 06:20 AM. Under Featured  

Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is proud to announce it has expanded its Model 89 Take Down into the new Model 89 Take Down Tactical lever-action rifle.

This new variant fuses the proven portability and serviceability of the Take Down design with modern tactical features that give shooters more options for optics, rail-mounted accessories, and recoil management.

The Take Down advantage, a heritage-inspired, quick disassembly system that breaks the rifle into compact components for transport, storage, and easier maintenance, remains central to the design. The Take Down mechanism was developed to improve portability for hunters and backcountry shooters while simplifying field maintenance and cleaning.

New Tactical additions on the Model 89 Take Down Tactical lever-action rifle include an M-LOK forend for modular attachment of lights, grips, and other rail accessories; a scout-style scope mount for forward, low optics mounting; and a tank-style muzzle brake that reduces felt recoil for improved comfort and faster follow-up shots. These Tactical features are integrated without compromising the Model 89’s big-bore performance, superior materials, and user-focused ergonomics.

The Model 89 Take Down Tactical platform is built with precision-machined 17-4PH and 416 stainless steel components and engineered to handle exceptional muzzle energies, continuing Big Horn Armory’s emphasis on durability and power.

”The Model 89 Take Down Tactical offers the best of both worlds: a rifle that’s easy to break down for travel and storage while remaining fully capable of mounting the accessories and optics demanded by today’s shooters,” commented Greg Buchel, founder of Big Horn Armory. “It’s a travel-ready, accessory-ready, and recoil-tamed powerhouse that brings modern capability to the classic lever-action platform.” The Model 89 Take Down Tactical lever-action rifle joins the BHA lineup as a versatile option for hunters, backcountry shooters, and lever-action enthusiasts who want classic operating ergonomics combined with contemporary accessory compatibility. MSRP $4,199.
