I'm waiting for the scope to get here though.

Nice looking gun. You will have to let us know how it shoots and if the bh209 works in it.

Very nice looking rifle there. You need to shoot that thing ASAP.

BH209 will not work in it. You can put a 5 grain booster of T7 or pyrodex down first and then it fires BH209 perfectly. A great deal of Electra owners are doing this.

Why is this? Does the electronic ignition not produce a "hot enough" spark?

The rifle looks nice. I like the stock, kinda reminds me of a stock I saw on a Knight Original Disc Rifle one time. That really is a heckuva price for what your getting.

Cayugad should buy one of these things.....

Exactly, not enough heat to light the BH209.

Ok. I never would have figured that it would have a problem with Blackhorn. I would have thought the electronic ignition would be hotter than hell.

Try hooking it up to the coil pack on your truck

No, that would be too hot. Would probably leave a crud ring.

Everything I've read that people have written is that it will not fire Blackhorn 209, but, it says right on the box "ELECTRONIC ARC IGNITION-UP TO 5X HOTTER THAN 209 PRIMERS." Yet you say it isn't hot enough? I believe it won't fire Blackhorn 209, but that does't make any sense to me.
