Worth the $$
« on: November 26, 2016, 05:45:10 PM »
I currently shoot a traditions vortek and its a great gun but have the opportunity to buy this one. It's a knight bighorn with thumbhole stock and peep sight. Its around 15 years old but only been shot 8 times. I got him down to $175, worth it?

That's a really good deal for $175. Good guns, great price. Hard to go wrong with that deal.

  Just take a good look down the barrel with a light to make sure it's not all pitted or corroded.

Think it would be hard to get hurt on that one, if you don't like it just sell it. However, I don't see the peep sight?

Even if it's a want vs "need" if it checks out see if you like it better than your traditions.  Then you have a choice to make sell one or keep both and have a back up.   I have couple wants now just waiting to find one of them.  When find it in .50 cal I'll sell one my current .50 cals.

Just so you're aware....
Being a plunger-action ML,  shooting Blackhorn 209 in it is a no-no.

Grab a WA legal breech plug if it is 209 ignition.
