Default RE: Which one? Black Diamond or BigHorn?

ORIGINAL: Shamus99

Greetings - I am getting ready to purchase an inline and have narrowed it down to these two contenders. Since Oregon has very strict laws on open breech and cap type they are about it.

Are these pretty evenly matched as far as features, ease of cleaning and accuracy? What advantages does one hold over the other?

Also, I've looked at the Mk-85 and System 1 inlines from Knight and T/C also, are they comparible in performance?

Thanks for any help!
I own a Black Diamond XR and also a Knight Wolverine II which is the 22" barrel and the Bighorn is the magnum version of the Wolverine in sorts. Both are great rifles without a doubt. You really could not go wrong picking any of them. I guess if I had to choose, I would suggest you look at the Bighorn made by Knight. It would be an excellent rifle for you.

You might also want to look into a White Super 91 which I believe is an open breech and is known for the ability to shoot large conicals with excellent accuracy. If elk were in your future this might be a real good choice.
