Title: Best new inline in the $500 range (need it now)
Post by: Dan-o on July 18, 2016, 08:37:44 PM: 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?

Wish my wife had done something like that for me!

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

Post by: 1961Wahunter on July 27, 2016, 04:58:33 AM: 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

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.

Post by: Bangflop on September 13, 2016, 10:09:23 PM: 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.

Post by: Twang on September 14, 2016, 08:00:30 PM: 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.
