Title: My Knight big Horn
Post by: dawhunt on August 05, 2009, 02:08:53 PM
 :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.

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.

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.

I just bought another one for $200 spanking brand new stainless barrel in the box.
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.
