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.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

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.
