Web site says 6 to 8 months.. Price increase 1-1-15 so I paid in full, but they said a $600 deposit will secure the current pricing. Steep enough already!!

One whole year and a little. I can only imagine the price you paid, I hope you get it by February or March as promised. I also hope that it is worth the wait.

I don't reload for the Bighorn but do for the Rossi............you'll have a lot of fun for sure. Hopefully you will be able to shoot longer nosed boolits like the Rossi so you can take advantage of the case volumn and barrel length for the slower magnum powders. It's a great combo cartridge.

Good for you! I have been lusting for one of those rifles for quite a while. I think I would get mine in 500 S&W. Something about a 50 caliber lever gun turns my crank.

We were testing ours today, how about a 385 hollow point at 2250, or a 450 Keith at 2000. Course this is in 500. Or the Lyman bullet with blackhorn at 1100. Oh and a400 cast at 2200.

Frank505 is right. I also have an '89 in 500 S&W. We were smacking targets with the 450 Keith at 250+ yds. in the Wyoming wind. How about a 350 gr. XTP at 2360. I'm beginning to wonder why I own all these other rifles. By the way, because of the stock design, felt recoil is amazingly low. That's important to me due to shoulder replacement.
