buying a muzzle loader.
« on: January 12, 2012, 06:35:50 PM »
Gettin the Gf a muzzle loader. What should I get her? For rifle she shoots a 30.06. So she can handle a good kick. She'll be mule deer hunting with it.

Get her a knight bighorn, I got my wife one, they are superior to any others. Knight disc extreme would be great too but more $$$

Got my girlfriend a traditions vortek northwest mag edition. It's light buy I've had lots of problems with it and the customer service at traditions is horrible.

Get a traditional style Muzzleloader, less headache all the way around. Your not gaining anything by buying a inline, same range, power just a little longer and weighs a little more.

$436 for the bighorn with the thumb hole camo stock and for the disc its around 540 ish. very good muzzles I have two plus the Knight t2000 12g my friends gf used to shoot her first deer this year with at 40 yards. I loaded up the 12g with 15- 00 buck pellets and 100 grains of powder. worked great. Go to there web site at http://www.knightrifles.com/tk2000/ . Don't forget to tell them that you want the rifle WESTERN STATE LEGEL

The knight disc extreme with the western kit is by far a superior muzzle loader compaired to anything on the market.  The big horn is less money but also a great gun.  Also made in america!!! Unlike the cva or traditions.  If you buy a knight you should never have to upgrade in the future.  I've had them all.  When you pick up a knight you just know it's a solid gun.    :twocents:

i bought a cva elkhorn and now just want a upgraded gun so Iam going with the knight
it is just a better gun.the elkhorn was a good starter gun but if you want quality go with the
knight.My buddys knight bighorn with 120 grains powder and 290 tmz bullet will shoot 6 inch
groups at 300 yards.just my two cents.
