Ok - how many times has Hickok45 “misspoke” when talking about his past and said 1800’s accidentally and then said 1900’s?? I think he is actually immortal..
Dave-Dave I'm waiting for him to mention the 1700's
He's the original Vampire hunter.
Illuminati confirmed
It's a Froidian slip honestly :DD
Holding a lever action rifle accidentally said 1899 which is when RDR 2 is set. And at the start of the video i actually noticed he sounds almost exactly like dutch!
I really appreciate that you guys don't accept gifts from manufacturers. Integrity is key to maintain the trust of your audience and this channel is doing great at least in my opinion. Love the videos.
I've had a couple of viewers message me and ask me if we have done any paid reviews. They were not even being "haters" or "trolls." They just were curious to know, so thought we'd remind everybody again about how we operate. There are many hundreds of new subscribers every day, and most of them have not seen many videos yet. We don't mind making sure people are aware; we're actually proud of being able to do this for a living, receiving support ONLY from sources of stuff we do not review.
For $3000, the lever should stay put while loading.
that was the 45-70. the 500 is the 3000$ gun
jtr109 I have a later serial than his, but no issues since I've had it. Granted, hickok45 probably gets more lead out of his than I do.
Jeffrey Taylor no issues on mine either, of course I gave a grand total of 8 rounds through it.... 2 months since I wrote this and a few hundred rounds through it, and it's still as tight as brand new, just is the action has smoothed up a bit.
Thats just how the Winchester 86 does sometimes
Damn right
it's cool how he explains things. I know like absolutely nothing about guns other then the way they work. so it's cool how he explains things for people who don't know.
Im a new subscriber and I really like this old guy, just a real honest to goodness gentleman. Greetings from Ireland.
Shane McRedmond Greetings, From New York, recently visited Ireland Connemara and Kinsale loved it so much ,good luck from the O’Connor clan!
Shane McRedmond I bet you want to get drunk and beat him up.
@@garysarratt1 That would be a bad bet, I dont drink alcohol
if I paid 2500. for a gun and the lever kept dropping I,d be really pissed off
30 minute video posted 10 minutes ago and we already got comments and nearly 100 likes. Hickok's the man and lever guns are awesome!
FenceDaGreat m
I love the sound of a lever gun when ejecting a cartridge😂😂
For those that didn't know: .500 magnum and .50 bmg (military etc.) are both a 1/2 inch or 12,7mm diameter round(by designation, though some manufacturers fiddle with the numbers:)). The main visual difference is that the .500 magnum has a straight case, while the .50 bmg has a longer .70 calibre (17,78mm) case necked down to .50. I am by no means an expert, I simply enjoy learning things and thought someone might find this interesting. And I thought the mm equivalent could help our metric oriented friends appreciate our interest in these extraordinary firearms. Thanks and God Bless Y'all
That is correct ! But that's where it ends ,the 50O mag is like a pellet rifle compared to the 50 BMG !
@@davidelo5843
Duh!
Maby more than a pellet rifle, but still.
Duh!
the grey area: that gun is badass and we had to keep it
i would personally like to thank you for everything you do Hickok, you are the reason I have gotten into the love for firearms, and the majority of my knowledge on firearms is from you. So thank you, and keep up the great work!
The Undertaker: Soft but ominous gong.
Hickok: Shoots the gong, makes it ring for miles.
Watching the instant the video came out:
"If you're watching this in a year or two..."
Sure sign of great content!
Keep it up Hickok45!
And 1 year later.....i’d still take the .45 70! You?
Halloween night 2020
45-70 gov, and the peep sights!
The CLACK CLACK is music to my ears
Thanks for all you do for the shooting community.
The finish of the Marlin, the checkering, and the fit of the stock all looks better. I love classic JM marlins
Bush Did 411 the finish of the Model 89 is much more durable than the bluing on the Marlin.
Rexford L yeah but does it look as good?
Bush Did 411 IMHO, yes.. especially after years of hunting, and the Model 89 will still look brand new.
Bush Did 411 well said
Bottomlands you can buy 4 Corvettes for the price of 1 Ferrari too...
12:40 boy if I had a nickle every time hickok said : I´m not a hunter.....
It is damm hard not to love a lever rifle. I have an older Marlin ported guide gun. Same sight set up also. Love the 45-70 cartridge. Extremely pleasurable to shoot. Thanks for another fine video.
I've had a Marlin 336C 30/30, now a 1995GBL 45-70, Love the lever guns.
I must say, what a lovely autumnal tableau in this video. The reddish-browns of the table and guns, and beige of Hickok's outfit. The leaves piling up. The orange soda bottles. The gently-smoking drum. Nice.
In your previous video on the Big Horn Armory 500 Magnum, I noticed that the lever wanted to pop open. Again, it has happened several times. On a firearm of this price, this should not be happening. I hope Big Horn Armory is paying attention.
First thing I noticed, too. It popped when he set it down, popped again as he was trying to load. No bueno!
For the price of that gun it really looks cheaply made !
Hickock45 said it might be just because it is brand new and not broken in yet. BUT, I agree, that a firearm of that price should be nealry perfect and have ZERO issues out of the box. Bad quality control? Or, just a bad design? I won't pay $3000 to find out!
The Big Horn costs over four (4) times what a Marlin or a Henry costs. The 45/70 is not only considerably more powerful, but factory ammo is not only much more available, but also cheaper. Why buy the Big Horn???????????????
@@christian30061
Damn boy, ain't you not never but mabees often spoken but writ that Englesh language?
God bless you Hickok. May you have a long life. Thank you for your gun knowledge
Love lever rifles. I have 2 Winchester 44-40 and Winchester 30-30... great for home defense... great for everything
Old lever guns are some of the best looking and shooting guns around, I love my ar and my ak but I've always had a soft spot for lever guns (even though I don't own one, I'm saving up for one right now)
I have a Marlin 30-30 for deer hunting. There's just something so friggin romantic about a lever gun.
I hunt with a 1895 guide gun in 45/70 it's a great gun for the thick northeast woods where shots are normally 50 yards or less
I picked up a Henry Big Boy in .357 a while back. I can really see the appeal of the .500 if you have a handgun chambered in that caliber. With all due respect to handgun hunters, a long gun is inherently more accurate.
The first 6.5 minutes of this video is the exact reason every American should be inspired Hickok 45’s ethics, morals, and honesty. We salute you my friend! Don’t ever sell out!
You're never rambling too much Hickok thats the reason i watch these videos. Very informative. Thank you.
It certainly seemed like that Big Horn gun always wanted to break the action open. I never had that issue on a Marlin.
Jonathan Mulzer Winchester leverguns tend to have sort of Rube Goldberg actions to begin with, and I don't believe they have any way to lock the lever in place.
@@Porty1119
Open your damn eyes! There is clearly a stud, which is intended to capture and hold the lever. It is NOT functioning correctly.
Slap a piece of Velcro to hold the lever up. Im sure Big Horn will sell you a piece for $299.95. Lol
Neither a Henry.
Should have mentioned that the marlin has a side ejection port so they are a breeze to mount a scope. I also prefer the marlin as they are less likely to drop hot brass on you.
And significantly cheaper
Another reason i love your channel is because you guys are not sell outs you enjoy what you do give people info about there firearms and help people too thats what i call one of the best if not the greatest firearms channel
Love this guy! Hickock45 is awesome at breaking things down. A bit long on the talk but this timer keeps me interested. Thanks for the content! Keep it coming!
The Encore Pro Hunter was originally developed for hunting moose in the thick cedar swamps of northern Maine. Its fast handling, compact design is ideal for hunting large game in the brush country. The combination of its 20 inch barrel, adjustable rear peep sight, and fiber-optic front sight teamed with hard-hitting caliber offerings of .500 S&W Magnum, .460 S&W Magnum and 45/70 Government clearly demonstrate its brush-busting capabilities. All of this in a 7 pound, 34.5 inch package that includes a recoil-taming Flex-Tech stock and Simms recoil pad, the Pro Hunter Katahdin handles and shoots as good as it looks.
MSRP$ 852
Hickok45 I would love it see a review on the Encore pro Hunter in the 500 s&w being is that I have the pistol. Thanks
i’m 16 and i just recently started to fall in love with lever-action firearms. my first lever-action i ever fired was a 30-30. thing was a beast
Well Peter you’re singing my song, only for me that was 45years ago and I’m still shooting that.30-30. It’s never let me down. Here’s some inside baseball you won’t regret, peep sight.
The venerable old 30-30 has similar ballistics to a lot of modern military cartridges. Nothing to sneeze at! 👍
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Handloaded spitzers for my 30-30 long before Leverevolution ammo came out.I just turned my ol Marlin into a 2 shooter to be safe.The 80-100 grain btsp was on par ,if not flatter shooting than a 243.But even with the heavy round nose bullets,the 30-30 has brought down more deer in my area than anything.
I prefer the fact that this channel can't be bought with free to review items I've watched so many channels turn from honesty to paid for advertising.. Your foresight into that is great !!! keep up the great work !!!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! SIR! like I said in a post before I've been so down. AND this 45-70 video. My goodness brings back days of me and my dad. THIS means a lot thank you.
Does it accept glock mags
BAHAHA
Wow
Yes. What doesn't these days?
No. It used clips.
Glock brand glock?
You’d think with an expensive lever gun, you would be able to keep the lever from popping open that easily but I guess that’s just the way they made it
Another quality video, Thanks John and Hickok!!!
I have been watching you and your son for a good while now and by far the best straight up just good information. Thank you
As far as lever guns go I think it'd be really hard to beat a JM Marlin lever action rifle in any caliber. A very good comparison of these two heavy hitters hickok45, but I feel as you do and I like the old 45-70 and I do have two S&W .500 magnums a 4" inch and an 8" inch and also a S&W .460 magnum 5" inch. Thumbs-Up' as always.
Please do a review on 6.5 Grendel I would love to hear your two cents on that caliber
Classy segment Mr. Hickok.
You and Big John do a great job.
This info just never gets old. Thx
The .50 looks a little thick in the stock and the lever flopping around like that one does would drive me nuts. No sale.
munched55 i was getting frustrated just watching that lever pop open lol
Ill pass too! Can you imagine that lever flopping open while your sneaking up on something? Lol
@@rdizzo1313 Exactly!
The lever popping on that 500 is not cool, especially on a $2500 gun. Just the fact that it pops everytime he touches drove me nuts. What's it going to do in the woods?
Looks like overpriced garbage to me. More expensive doesn’t always mean better I guess hahaha! They are just jacking up the price to make a name for themselves. For 3,000 ill buy a few Marlins or Henry’s! 👌🏾
Exactly... for a lever gun go with the Marlin 1895 Guide Gun.
Thanks guys! Appreciate the comparison.
You are A OK Hick. Thank you kindly and happy holidays!
The Marlin seems to be a little better made. I don't like how easily the lever falls down on the Big Horn...seemed slightly harder to load too.
Hmmmm I don't know what ya mean. Better made? That's the other way around. The Big Horn Armory is much better built than the Marlin I happen to know being I own both. The lever on my Spike Driver doesn't fall loose or easy. I love love everything about my model 89 but I don't knock other firearms because I love all firearms. Not that you are bashing the firearm it was just me saying that. Both Hoss's though that's for sure.
The big horn armory, is a very small gun company. It's not difficult to talk directly to the president of the company with in 48 hours. Because of that they are trying extra to develop their name and keep high quality. Since each gun is hand made , I think that increases quality. Plus its cool to get in contact fast.
Try doing that with Ruger lol.
Could you please do a shoot with the colt 1903 pistol? I haven’t seen that one yet on your show.
STay tuned.
love your videos, lots of fun watching them always , keep up the great work !
I have said it before brother you amaze me never seen anyone can shoot like you do
I like em both
I've been wondering how .500 magnum compares to .45-70.
Bowen Creer
especially a rifle comparison between the two calibers
500 magnum blows 45-70 out of the water.
Well..... one is a handgun cartridge and the other is not.
Both can change a similar amount of gunpowder...so it's up to you...the thing with the 500 it's that it's a revolver round...and the 45-70 it's not...and one good thing about the 45-70 it's that the round it's less expensive and easier to find
MrVegas ballistics wise modern 45/70 is ballistically superior to the 500 when it comes to velocity and energy, the 500's only advantage is a bigger hole. The 45/70 is a tried and true guide gun for grizzly protection.
Man I love lever guns just a fun element to them. Great way to get new shooters involved when I take them out and they always love them.
Hickok:
This was "Classic Hickok45" and one of your best in recent memory... The "comparison format" (see the ".357 compilation video," etc.) really highlights your superior "critical reasoning" and, for me, it is very entertaining...
Please keep up the good work and THANK YOU for a tremendous body of excellent firearms videos...
Hope to see you, and John, at the NRA Convention...
You are 6'8..but the real question is how tall is your table...damn!
Can you please be my grandpa
Is your grandma a swimsuit model? :-)
God I was hoping he's be the one who responded...good ole hickock
Dude seriously
Great Answer ! HAHAHAHA!!
hickok45 mine was, unfortunately im old enough to only be your son and not your grandson lol :o(
You're a legend hickok, don't ever change.
my roommate just got a model 1893 made in 1904 yesterday. still shoots beautifully.
You can't be a true N.C.R. Ranger with the Big Horn Armory, though. ;)
Please try out the lever action shotgun.
We appreciate the transparency.
All yours and John’s video’s are always great 👍🏻
Next do your favorite pump shotgun
The working man budget gun
Son of a Gun Remington 870
Over under is considered less poor than a pump?
870 never fails me. I’ve got one kitted out for combat/defense and one kitted out for hunting. If you can wait for Black Friday sales you can usually get a really good deal. Tons of accessories.
Estate Sales and auctions. I got a beautiful 1972 Remington 870 for 275.00.
Brand new, Maverick 88. I own one and can attest that its a solid gun.
Used is a whole different ball game. Any Model 12 you can find in good condition (because they're pretty old), or a pre 2007 Remington 870. Pre '07 870's are the cream of the crop budget shotguns.
Anyone can build an expensive rifle! Building a well built, well designed, affordable rifle is much more impressive to me! The Marlin looks a little prettier to me. It has more defined metal work and nicer blueing. When one rifle is 5X-6X as much as a similar item it has to do something that more affordable one does not do. It does not have engraving and the wood is better but not 6X better. THe metal work is not any better that I can tell. It is not 6X more accurate. I doubt the steel is 6X better either. $500-$2500 to $3000 really demands some serious added value to be worthwhile!Look what you get for $3000 in a bolt action rifle. It will either have insanely good wood and blueing with engraving or it will have a premium synthetic stock, custom barrel from someone like Douglass or Bartlin and some blue printing etc....
the cost must come from the never before seen high tech external loading gate mount.
Hickok45, I am huge fan, I am from Pakistan and your reviews have always had a big impact on my gun knowledge, I've shown many of your videos to my friends and they simply adore you and your reviews, I'd like to thank you and your team for putting out great content 👍👍👍
Your shoulders ganna feel that in the morning. I used to hunt with a .375 lever action Marlin when I was a kid. Wish I still had it, it was beautiful.
What's with the 500 mag lever popping open when you set it down or pick it up?
That's some crapolla manufacturing/design flaw.
WHY NOT BOTH!!!!?????
Boosted98gsx Both combined cost a grand total of many people's entire gun collection. Those are not cheap boomsticks.
Boosted98gsx , $$$$$$$$$$"
I bought a Guide Gun back in 1999 too, since then I've put Ashley Xpress sights on it, had it Cerakoted & added a modern military style sling. I love that gun.
Keep up the great work, love these videos
Couldn't afford my BHA model 500. Thankfully MasterCard could!
Don't regret it at all either if any of you are on the fence. 1/20th my annual pay?! Don't care. Love that gun.
Glad you like it we aim to please!
Jeffrey Taylor Visa for me. A few weeks ago, it's paid off now..
Unfortunately they will ask for that money back....and then some
If you need a credit card to “afford” a gun then maybe you shouldn’t be buying them?....😂🤣😂🤣
Not impressed by the Big Horn Armory rifle. I have the 1895 Marlin (Remlin). I got a good one. Fit and finish is very nice. It's very accurate. The Big Horn, I'm not impressed with the mechanical quality and function. I'll save my money.
Thanks for the transparency in light of recent events in the guntube world. Honesty is always the best policy, although you’ve always been fairly transparent about sponsors.
People can be hateful, envious, angry, or whatever, but we've always been transparent. Really, the only valid reason anybody has to hate ME is because I'm "beautiful." :-)
hickok45 I understand your pain. This much beauty is a curse sometimes lol.
My father has a nice Marlin lever gun. Can't get enough of it!
I like guns
Frankie's Coins I like yogurt.
I like guns and yogart
Eu também.
Guns at the bottom yogurt? lol
Frankie's Coins me too ese

Tarek Nabulsi pretty amazing
Tarek Nabulsi thats fast
I believe TH-cam uses a sloppy algorithm for counting views. There are algorithms (like HyperLogLog) which can estimate unique cardinality very effectively, but make more mistakes early on.
Tarek Nabulsi it’s what happens when you are an honest non pushy TH-camr. Most don’t like to be told to subscribe ever 5 minutes or take up a minute intro of the video. I downvote those kind of videos.
A barrel burning stuff in the background hahaha I love it.
I have the all weather Henry in 45-70. It's a lot of fun. Thanks for the video guys.
You should do a rifle in 270 because I don't hear many people talk about 270
to be honest, you need 250+ yards to even test 270. His targets also can't handle 270 at less than 250 yards. He doesn't really focus on long range stuff.
I think Jack O'Connor said everything there is to say about .270... great cartridge!
My friend had a .270 bolt action I really enjoyed shooting I also like .243
Christopher Fisher These youngins just don't know.
James not being a SA but 270 has tons of press (rightly so) one of the great ones
I prefer the 45-70,but,the other one is very a good arm!!
When he said “plug”😂💯 respect
Hickok, hearing you explain why you took the Big Horn was cracking me up. I couldn't help but think "yeah, a Big Horn would be a gray area for me too" lol.
Those are SO nice and I don't blame you at all for accepting it. Plus, they aren't your average "manufacturer" of firearms like glock or sig, etc. They really are craftsmen that make beautiful, functional firearms.
I would like to see some sharps videos in 45 70 and also in 50 70 and let's not forget 45 90 and 45 110.
For rifle thats $2500-3000. Needs a lot better stock and lever shouldnt be popping open by itself.
They sent me a new spring for it, which is supposed to take care of that. I just have not gotten around to installing it yet.
@@hickok45 did it? Bugged the hell out of me
Great review. I decided recently that I want to get a 45-70. I was looking at the Henry but someone mentioned the Marlin to me so this was perfect for me.
By far my favorite hunter rifle is my 30-30 lever. Love the feel of these style of guns and its super lightweight so its easy to lug around when tracking!
This guy is basically John Wick
Rokran Crean hahaha...the difference is JW really is a bad ads. Hickock thinks that talking like one makes him one.
Rokran Crean retired John Wick who used guns of the old.
Hey I have a question but it’s a bit off topic, is there a difference between 7.62X54 and 7.62X54R?
Different names for the same round. 7.62x54mmR (rimmed)
Colloquially referred to occasionally as 7.62x54 (though technically incorrect).
One is the correct designation for the round (R), one is the lazy shortened version (no R). Same round though. There is no round called just 7.62x54, but people leave the R off sometime and call it that anyway because it is just understood.
The R stands for rimmed because its a rimmed cartlidge i have never heard of a 7.62x54 but i have heard of 7.62x54R hope this helps
Ok thanks guys
Bravo Company Major Nelson No prob! Love that round.
Very good video... I like hearing the behind the scenes info
Awesome video. Just the video I was wanting to see
Hickok can you get your hands on a McMillan Tac chambered in .308 or .50 in the future? I would love to know what you think about it.
Nick Fiasco if he had a range long enough to utilize it then maybe
Sky McDaniel Hickok brings .308 to his compound a lot and the McMillan tac is chambered in .308 including other calibers as well.
Hickok , Come on man Burning your garbage ??? The only time it's acceptable to burn garbage is when heating your still !! The smell throws off the revenuers !
wayne larson - That might be the Evidence of the Revenuers visit being set free Dawg...
wayne larson
Ha!Lol!!!
Good info to know.
lets take a moment to appreciate one thing about hickok's videos that support his professionalism - one take videos.
Thanks again for another great video!
Dude lately it seems like you do nothing but guns i own both they were given to me by my dad before he passed now all you need to do is the M16A1 please make it happen
Well, since I learned the combination to your safe, I've just been slipping in and borrowing them.
hickok45 hey fine by me but seriously last 4 videos i own all of them
Just finished building my M16A1 tribute.....it is a fantastic piece! If Hickok wants to borrow it, I will send it asap haha
I just finished my m16a1 today
Awesome! You're going to love it....lightest AR I've ever felt and it is also the softest shooting, even with all of those 40 year old parts haha
I like the Marlin as well,you can put a scope on it
artifactman660 That's my hunting rifle.
Jeffrey Taylor why would you though..
artifactman660 Sacrilege! Nothing worse than a scope on a lever gun.
Wicked Coolname the only exception IMHO is the Savage 99, since it can use pointed Spitzer bullets for long range work..
Rexford L True, but you can use spitzer bullets in any lever gun. Just load one in the chamber and one in the magazine. Shouldn't need more than one follow-up shot when hunting most game.
I really don't care where or who the guns come from . Your one of the best channels out there! Love the father and son relationship.
I love the look and sound of the old long barrel 45-70's and Hickok isn't helping my love for that round. Keep up the 45-70 videos!
Meu sonho de consumo,pena que aqui no Brasil não é permitido um cidadão de bem usar só os foras da lei!!!
I would recommend you speak English around here
Dorvuzak Uzn Why? The internet isnt American.
The Eastern front and neither am I. It's like going to an international meeting where absolutely everyone speaks English and suddenly talking Portuguese just because. The Lingua Franca of the Internet IS English. Plus this is an American channel that is in English.
First comment yeahhhh btw good vid
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your videos before, long time subscriber. I do love the transparency and honesty !! Love that about your channel
Thanks. As we've commented at various times over the years, it's really difficult in the firearms media business (magazines, TV shows, TH-cam videos, etc.) to make any income without being tied to gun makers, to some extent. It's VERY difficult. We've managed to do exactly that by not taking support from anything we review. Like I point out, there ARE some gray areas, but regardless of that, we've always shared with the audience where guns come from pretty much the first minute or two of the first video where they appear.
hickok45 it’s very much appreciated to get an unbiased opinion. They’re hard to find anymore lol. Long video I’m still watching hahaha.
I knew you leaned toward the Marlin from the start, I did too, Excellent video and thank you, the Marlin will be my next gun
That Marlin is not the same Marlin you can buy today.
