Greetings.

I know a young man that's getting married and his bride wants to buy him a muzzleloader in the the $500 range.

Need it to be here by the end of the month.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

Was down at Big Js the other day and he had a good amount of them in there.

I bought a Knight Bighorn last fall and have been very happy with it! I thought I heard it went up in price but I recommend it to anyone! I got mine at Outdoor Emporium on 4th.

Wish my wife had done something like that for me!

Thanks.... I'm kind of surprised they have any firearms after you stop in.

I like my Traditions Vortex NW Magnum 30" barrel. Just over $400.00 The quick remove breach plug is great.

Traditions vortex strike fire is a good gun for the money me and the wife just bought each other one for Vday.

Knight disc extreme at sportsman's warehouse or gunbroker. Knight ultra light's are more money, otherwise i would recommend them

Stop past Adventure Sports in Lynnwood I'm sure they can hook you up in that price range.

Too bad some ML guys on here couldn't meet up with you and shoot different guns.

I looked at the Vortek two days ago. $399

Went to pick it up today, and it was on sale for $329.

IMO. knight big horn is a solid performer...I believe solely it is because of the heavy plunger style bolt/firing pin they use. ... (aka always fire ) ..All the new CVA, Traditions etc.. light weight design all use a very lightweight wispy firing pin and without modification these muzzleloaders do not always fire!!!..I have a big horn and a new cva accura NW muzzy. I had a machinist fab a new breech and nipple now the CVA NW auccra fires every time and does not slap bang aka hang fire

My new Traditions Vortex NW magnum has always fired and my old TC Black Diamond has always fired too.

Make sure you keep the firing pin assembly clean on the Vortek. Mine got gunked up, leaving the pin protruding from its housing. I reloaded and when I closed it, it slam fired. Very scary.

Strike fires are junk I have had mine back to the factory and it still fails to strike hard enough to set RWS primers off every time. The dynamite Nobel caps work with it but they are like hens teeth. If I'm shooting at game it's going to be a knight. Not to mention the two pards that hate theirs as well. Real POS.

A friend of mine got the strikefire problem too even with German caps. Shame cause it is otherwise hunter friendly. I liked it but Bighorn is dependable in every way. Just plan to add a peep.
