CODY, WYO. / AGILITYPR.NEWS / March 17, 2026 / Free, hands-on range time of BHA’s big-bore tactical firearms and W.T.F.’s Barron Suppressor will take place in Casper, Wyoming, on March 21, 2026.

Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, will host a public Range Day on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Wyoming Gun Company, in Casper, Wyoming, offering attendees a hands-on opportunity to experience some of the most powerful and innovative firearms on the market, including the Model 89 and the new CAT 5, both chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, and the AR500 Next Gen platform featuring several new colors. In addition to range time, attendees can enter BHA’s $500 Manufacturer Rebate Drawing, open to all event participants. Following the Range Day, BHA will attend the Dallas Safari Club of Wyoming Gala in Casper, Wyoming, from 4:30 p.m. to midnight. BHA representatives will be present to connect with attendees and celebrate Wyoming’s wildlife and hunting culture.

“The Range Day will give people a real, hands-on understanding of what our firearms can do,” said Greg Buchel, owner of Big Horn Armory. “There’s no substitute for pulling the trigger yourself – especially when you’re talking about platforms like the Model 89, the AR500 NEXT GEN, and the new Cat 5. Pairing that with suppressed shooting really changes the experience and shows just how versatile these rifles can be.”

Attendees will get an early look at new Cerakote® color offerings on the AR500 NEXT GEN platform, including Burnt Bronze, Desert Tan, and OD Green. BHA will also showcase its newest tactical lever-action offering, the CAT 5, chambered in .500 S&W Magnum. Developed in direct response to strong internal demand and customer requests, the CAT 5 delivers a more tactical configuration without sacrificing the raw performance that defines Big Horn Armory rifles.

The CAT 5 evolves the traditional lever gun through a comprehensive collaboration with Ranger Point Tactical, integrating a purpose-built fore-end and Picatinny-style scout rail system for enhanced mounting capability and modular adaptability. This configuration enables shooters to easily mount optics and accessories, transforming the lever gun into a contemporary, mission-ready platform. With a six-round capacity, 1:24 twist rate, and weighing approximately 7 lbs. 12 oz. with an overall length of 36 inches, the CAT 5 is compact, powerful, and built for decisive performance.

The Range Day will offer attendees an opportunity to shoot and explore BHA’s platforms in both suppressed and non-suppressed configurations. All suppressed shooting experiences will feature the Wyoming Tactical Firearms Barron Suppressor. The Barron is engineered for non-BMG .50 caliber cartridges, including .45-70 Government, .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, .500 S&W Magnum, and .500 Auto Max. The fully welded suppressor features a universal 1.375”-24 TPI (HUB) thread pattern and includes one direct thread adapter.

Measuring 9.9 inches in length with a 1.825-inch diameter, the Barron weighs 21 ounces in stainless steel and 16 ounces in titanium. When paired with a 16-inch BHA Model 89 chambered in .500 S&W Magnum firing 500 S&W subsonic ammunition, the Barron has metered at 112.29 dB at the shooter’s ear. The suppressor is finished in V-Series Cerakote for durability in demanding field conditions.
