Title: Knight Bighorn Question??
Post by: wazzu99 on March 17, 2010, 11:12:49 AM: Guys,

Looking at a knight Bighorn 50 cal and the ad says it uses 209 primers which are illegal in WA. Is that possible and if it is can you convert it to use an ignition that is legal in WA? I was told that Bighorn's in general were all legal in WA but obviously I may have been misinformed.

Post by: Wacenturion on March 17, 2010, 11:58:00 AM: You just need to order a #90023 breech plug from Knight with is for percussion or musket caps.......then you're legal. Actually most Bighorns come with both breech plugs included when you buy them.

Blued/stainless, plain composite stock, black, camouflage, thumb threw? You will really love this gun. Really nice to shoot.

Harvested my first ever elk this last year with a TC black diamond. :) I couldn't be happier with that gun!

The knight bighorn is equally as nice; the boyfriend's brother has one and he is very satisfied.

He found them at Bob's sporting goods in Longview. I guess they bought out a store that had like 20 of them. I don't know if they still have any but it doesn't hurt to give them a call. Good luck.

Post by: wapiti hunter2 on June 07, 2010, 05:57:15 PM: Big J's in Orting has two bighorns black synthetic stock, stainless barrel for $375. I just bought one ( they have 2 left). Might have found one for less but now at least I can start to build it up and get used to it for the next four months. I want to replace the sights with the Trueglo fiberoptic sight number ??? and I need a sling. I am also thinking about a bipod.

Post by: WonkyWapiti on June 07, 2010, 08:46:19 PM: You won't regret the Bighorn. Congrats on your new purchase.

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on June 07, 2010, 08:58:10 PM: I took my sling off.
Safari slings don't work that great cause the bighorn is barrel heavy, and i will not carry it barrel up.

Post by: Mattvesuvius on September 17, 2010, 08:30:21 AM: Love my bighorn, got it at an estate sale for 150.00 dollars in the box, never used. Blue stainless, camo with thumbhole stock now, had to replace when I noticed a slight crack in the stock, must have happened when I toke a fall with it the season before.
