(GunReports.com) — Smith & Wesson has introduced a new X-Frame model in collaboration with professional hunter Michael Waddell – the S&W500 Bone Collector.
Engineered by the Smith & Wesson Performance Center, the Model S&W500 Bone Collector is built on the company’s X-Frame, and is chambered for five rounds of .500 S&W Magnum.
The new Bone Collector revolver is manufactured with a stainless steel frame, cylinder and 10.5-inch barrel design. The S&W500 Bone Collector comes standard with a two-tone finish, synthetic rubber grips. The Model S&W500 also includes a 360-degree muzzle compensator.
The Model S&W500 Bone Collector is hand-cut and fit. Additional Performance Center features include a heavy-duty ball detent lock-up between the cylinder crane and frame along with a chrome-flashed hammer and trigger. The trigger on the Model S&W500 Bone Collector also features an over-travel stop and the revolver is standard with a Performance Center action job.
Said Tom Kelly, vice president of marketing for Smith & Wesson, “The new Bone Collector is the latest in the extensive line of hunting handguns from Smith & Wesson. Providing today’s hunter with sufficient power and long range accuracy, handguns like this new S&W500 enable users to move easily through areas with thick vegetation that often prove difficult to navigate with a long gun.”
