:IBCOOL:
fired two shots at 25 to find out were the gun was shooting, first chance I've had to shoot it after buying it :yike: 1st two shots at 25 yds in the same hole :yike: :yike:
thought I made a mistake so i moved the sight to the right of the bull and hit 1/4" to the right WOW
Moved it to 50 yds dead center maybe 3/4" high WOW !!!!!
Went to 95 yds close as i could get to a 100 yds were I was shooting fired 1st shot DEAD CENTER !!!!!!
went home cleaned and put it away I thought my Austin & Halleck was accurate but this knight is awesome or maybe it was just my skill :IBCOOL: :P
I was shooting 95 grains of 777 and a remington #11 cap and a Hornady SST in 300 grains, needless to say I'm not changing anything !!!!!!!!!
I was also using a lead sled for a rest.

Sounds like a winner. Thanks for the info.....going to shoot my Bighorn for the first time....soon.

This is good info. I'm about to shoot my Bighorn for the first time as well. I was looking at the Hornady SST's as well and this is good news to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Ive been looking into purchasing the big horn and I have only priced it at one store for $399. What are you all seeing the gun go for? Im talking about the plain jane base model the camo was $425
-
Wow! Has the price really gone up that much? I paid $369 for mine in 2006 and it's stainless with the camo thumb hole stock. That was at Hooked On Toys in Wenatchee.

The bighorn is accurate but I think the shooter got skills.

Anyone interested pm me and I'll give you the reference for mail order.

Not many skills just a portable shooting bench and a lead sled rifle rest to hold the gun steady.
I'm not that steay anymore at 65.

At 50 yds, my Bighorn was level with the bullseye, and 3" left. I could see my rear sight was not centered, and I did not have the correct screwdriver for it.
I just ordered the williams peep WGRS-legend to install on it.

I agree, it's a great rifle. :twocents:
I picked one up from Wholesale Sports in Federal Way yesterday. The first shot was also dead center @ 25yards. Moved from there to 50, then 100 yards. Best group at 100 yards was about 2"s with the stock sights. That was with 245grain Powerbelt AeroTips and 110grains of Pyrodex.
I bought this to replace my CVA Kodiak that is not legal in Washington(had shot it in Colorado before I moved). This is a much better rifle than the CVA.

I think the Knight Bighorn is hard to beat sure is sad they went out of business.
