Personal opinion is that the Knight is of higher quality. I was in the same boat as you looking for an Accura V2. Shot both, handled both, and bought the Knight Bighorn (happened to be on sale for $260) but I would have bought a Knight anyway.

Can't seem to find a bighorn anywhere available, might have been discontinued as I do not see it on their sight either? Quick research the Disc Extreme might be better option since I want to be able to run BH209. I will keep knight in mind.Knights are on sale right now.

With the disc extreme, can you take the breech out with your fingers? Is the primer completely enclosed from the elements?Not sure honestly, just know the quick research I did said the bighorn is not good for BH209 powder, the Disc was good for it.

Good luck on your search....I don't think you can go wrong with any of the new muzzy's on the market these days. :tup:

I just purchased a CVA accura V2 LR at my local sportsmans. The price was right and I am hoping they allow 1x scopes. If they don't....well the price was no longer right as it is not drilled or tapped for a a front site.... :bash: :bash: :bash: That will be a few bucks to get done. Anyhow, the reviews are pretty darn awesome so I figured what the heck.....lets give it a go. The breach can be taken out with your hands and it is already set up with the 209 primer system. Load development will start here in a few weeks so I will let you know how it shoots. I actually thought it felt good in my hands but then again, I have never held a knight. If it shoots as good as my TC black diamonds....you really can't beat the price.That is a thing with all the "*R" models (LR, MR, PR) they are not drilled for irons at all. The rest of the V2 models are drilled/tapped for irons and scope. I plan to buy a scoped version out of the gate since I plan to hunt AZ with it and they allow it and everyone says replace the stock sights anyway, so why pay for stock ones and replace them!?

Odd that sportsmans would carry them actually given they are not legal to hunt in NW in that configuration. I know a guy that can probably drill/tap it for you

Not sure what part you are saying is not legal in our state, but the 209 set up is legal now.I just purchased a CVA accura V2 LR at my local sportsmans.

Scopes are not currently legal. The LR, MR, PR models of the Accura are only setup for Scope mount. There is no provision for any sort of iron sight. so for now as they come from factory, they are not legal here in the NW without sending out to a gunsmith to have a hole drilled and tapped into the barrel to mount a front sight.Not sure what part you are saying is not legal in our state, but the 209 set up is legal now.I just purchased a CVA accura V2 LR at my local sportsmans.

Planning to put Williams Peep rail on it plus a globe up front so it will be ready for action in all states and not have to alter/remove peep sight to go from scope to peep.

You wont be sorry, If you need load info let me know.

Any starting points would be appreciated. I’m gonna be playing with a few new bullets and trying both pyrodex select loose powder and bh209. Super excited to see how the new bullets perform.

Also bought parts so that I can convert it to run BH209 as well as complete NW conversion so I can run #11caps and pellets since 209 primers and BH209 are impossible to find. Also means I can hunt ID/OR.
I planned to buy a Williams Ace in the hole rail. Though it sounds like the Eabco might be a better option to match up with a front globe and have enough adjustment? I am hearing different reports, some say The Williams fine, some say it is not tall enough and has to be shimmed?

I have the EABCO rail/peep with a Lyman globe on my Accura V2 and didn’t have any issue with getting things adjusted. I really like the setup. I used the factory sights for a year and used a ghost ring for a couple years. The peep/globe setup is the best option for precise aiming.awesome great to hear. Sounds like the Williams unit is hit or miss for elevation. Did you have to use multiple pieces for the front sight like one of the peep sight walkthru's says?

Yeah, I had to get a separate ramp for the front globe. I used this 0.100” height ramp.

If your using the Lyman it should come with different inserts, I use the post. I bought the EABCO rear. My load is 84 weighed gr of BH 209, a Harvester Crushrib black sabot and a 300 gr Speer Deep Curl. Fired off with a CCI 209 primer. NO swabbing between shots necessary. The first year I used 77 weighed gr of the 209 and Win 209 primers. Worked fine too. Blackhorn will be out again shortly. Watch Graf's and Midway and others. I buy 5 lb jugs, it works out cheaper than the 10oz bottles. The .452 Deep curls are deadly!Thanks for the info! You run the 300grn for elk or just deer? 209 primers are impossible to find right now. that may be tougher to get than the powder these days.
