$$$ but they are very nice, machined once they get your order, and you can do stainless steel or titanium. High quality

I wish I would have seen this option when I was setting up the leupold red dot on my knight. Looks like a great setup. I do like my setup but this would have taken a lot of guess work out of scope rings and such.

They will be two piece bases that work fine.
They will probably be under 20.00.
Take your rifle with you to check hole spacing and contour.

My Bighorn came with a 2-piece rail. I guess they don’t do that anymore.

You might consider putting some sort of heat/debris shield under your scope. A lot of hot gases and chucks come out of that slot. Even wrapping some aluminum foil underneath will help.

Thanks for the tip. My Bighorn is over 15 years old...maybe they hadn't started shipping with the mounts yet. :chuckle: She only looks young because of the fresh makeup.

She's younger than mine. I bought it Jerry's surplus; they went out business at least 15 years ago.

I put the Murphy on mine, works great with the Seekins Rings and RDS. :twocents:
What MOA on the rail did you use on the Murphy rail for the big horn? And what set of seekins rings?

New Bighorn purchased several years ago during their blowout sale, even though I’d never needed one because I can’t draw a tag.
Both my kids drew good muzzy cow tags this year, so I’m getting it set up.
I went with Knights recommended load to start, using their 300gr poly tipped bullets.
100gr of Triple 7 and 300gr poly tip bullet. Open sights, first shot is all the way to the right.
Cleaned the gun and fired again with no adjustment, that’s the next one in from the right.

Cleaned again and adjusted the open sight, that’s the third from right.
Adjusted sight and shot again, that’s the one right down the middle.

Let me know when you're tired of that crappy old Big Horn.

That's just over the top expensive for a simple rail done on a CNC. Knight Muzzle Loader - Older straight pull
$161.00 - $234.00

Just ordered up similar components for mine and am anxious to try it out. Any tips or tricks you learned I'd love to hear.
Post by: huntnphool on December 12, 2024, 11:26:59 PM
We dialed in the open sights, then mounted the scope. Was way easier and more accurate than I had guessed it was going to be.

If you have a Bighorn, I’d start with the 300gr poly tip and 100gr of Triple 7. Proved to be perfect for the muzzy, just get it dialed.

Lots of good bullet and powder combos that work. The tricky part comes down to the shooter doing their part with modern muzzies.
I want to put a scope on one of my bighorns. I like the looks of the two piece mounts. Not a fan of the single piece rails getting in the way of the breach. That would hinder my latex glove waterproofing technology.

Haven’t had an issue accessing the breach or cleaning with my one piece. YMMV

You got a pic of latex glove on bighorn just curious how your waterproof setup works and what it looks like exactly.
