I’m looking to get a second muzzleloader as either a backup or my main rifle to my knight bighorn. What do you guys suggest? Thanks
-
Depending on what your budget is, you could get a knight wolverine. They are just like the Bighorn but have a 22" barrel instead of a 26". And they are quite a bit cheaper in price. If you like the Bighorn and are comfortable with the way it functions the Wolverine would be perfect.

I only habe one Muzzleloader and I honestly think it is the best available. It is a Thomposn Center Blackdiamond XR S/S in .50 cal. shoots incredible. The XR (stands for extended range)
Look into it, You will be impressed. Simple design and easy to clean.
I still can't get over how accurate it is at 200 yards.
Great gun and one I will never sell.
It was recommended to Me by the guy that showed Me all that I know about muzzle loaders.
He said Buy this one You will not be disappointed. So I did
My Dad has several Knights, My gun shoots circles around them.

Why not get the new one with a built in Can?

The nice thing about a Wolverine or another Bighorn is the parts are completely interchangeable.

Can?

Can = suppressor

Unfortunately it doesn't look Washington legal because of the shotgun primer and does not appear to be exposed nipple cap modifiable.

Anybody that might even consider this thing - take a close look at the limitations applied to this rifle. Not to mention it is not PacNorWest legal... and how would you ever apply open sights...
-
I would think you would need to shoot it like a shotgun... perhaps a line down the top of the can would suffice....
Or put a scope on it...
Great for other states just not this one.

You could put M16A2 style sights on it, the big carry handle and raised front.

I have a bighorn and a disc extreme. I like that the disc extreme bolt is close enough to the nipple to keep it from falling off when walking.
-
I have a traditions vortek Stryker fire. Accurate as hell its been great but I really really like the knight ultralight after handling them.
-
Main gun is a Knight Ultra Light, shoots great, very nice gun. For back up I went more traditional and found a unfired T/C Hawkins in .50 cal..... same gun I started with 30+ years ago. Fun gun to own, shoot, and hunt with, normally I my back up is identical to the other, or as close as possible, not so much in this case :)

I have always used my Remington 700, 50 cal. and love it. This year I purchased a 2nd one for my son. I found it here in Yakima at a pawn shop. $300.00. Stainless and in perfect shape. You can't beat this muzzeloader.

I don't think the new style 700 ultimates are Wa. legal. But the older Rem. Are.

Lets see!
Your dad bought his first Knight - then 2nd and 3rd Knight..... then finally realized they don't shoot real well and proceeded to buy 4 more.
