Default RE: Knight bighorn

That was a real workhorse for the Knight Rifle Company. It was known to be a good shooter. You can still find them new here and there. Before you buy any used rifle be sure and inspect it real close. Pull the breech plug and inspect the barrel for rust pitting and such.

Although that is probably a good deal, there are some excellent deals on Knight Rifles around the internet right now. I believe you should check at Natchez.Com. They had some excellent rifles for around $179.00 after the Knight $50.00 rebate.

As for the Tasco Scope. The older model Tasco scopes were actually a very good scope. In fact I have one on a 7mm mag and on a 30-06 but we are talking 20 year old scopes and they still function and shoot great. For some reason the new ones seem to be lacking. They either work or they fail. There are better scopes out there and believe me, a muzzleloader will put one through the tests....

So is that a good deal... Well if the rifle is in great condition, they were an excellent shooter. 80 grains of Triple Se7en and a Hornady 240 grain XTP and your in there .... Two people I talk with on line have Bighorns.. in fact they just bought them new, in the box. They love them. I will ask and see where they got them if you like....
