http://www.knightrifles.com/bighorn-guns/

prices are right on their web site. I have no idea about the buckstalker.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

I love my underhammer, and legal in any state allowing percussion caps with the direct ignition advantage of an inline and a removeable breech plug.  Nice and light as well.

If you can save up 50 bucks a month for the next six months then you can have you knight. If that's what you really want. I've heard some guys say that the elkhorn is their go to gun. If you get a gun in June or July and practice practice practice you will be ready for season. Again just my  :twocents:

I have an older thompson 54 cal. its got a composite stock, shoots great, and I dont worry about polishing it up, its a meat getter, wouldnt trade it for nothing, you can have all those fancy in line models, keep it simple. :)

Break actions should be easier to clean, but I don't think there are any that are legal in this state. BTW, break action muzzleloaders ARE inlines.

Remember bobcat, that is the one that i had problems with. ;)
