bighorn
« on: February 04, 2012, 02:34:39 PM »
How do you guys that are bighorn owners solve the
problem with the sling. The front stock is so short
it makes the gun top heavy and want tip backwards.
If I can solve this problem I will own one next week
when my tax money come.
Thank for any help you can give.

if you were to go with the Tumbhole stock the problem would be solved.  It is a full length stock. Or... you could go with the Extreme and regular straight stock and again it would be a full length stock so problem solved...

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

no not at all it's by far the best sling i've ever used. a little bit of advice get the black one because it has a couple of grip strips that run along the inide of the strap to keep it from sliding off the shoulder if you get the camo one (i have both) you may want to use some alex/clear silicone sealant for grip. the first and Only hike i took with camo one without grip on it  i was sore as could be with having to readjust it what seemed like hundreds of times.

oh my gosh thats funny u bring this up i thought my knight was perfect i do hate the sling it is a problem when i hunt on foot wich is most of the time i carry it in my hand and when i climb steep stuff or ride a bike ill put the sling over one shoulder across my chest and under my other arm pit it works good enough 4 me to still love my knight over this 1 issue
