In this part of the Welcome to Knight Rifles series, we visit the versatile and reliable Bighorn. The Bighorn muzzleloader offers a lot of gun at an affordable price. The Bighorn ® uses a simple cocking system to provide easy performance, with lightning quick speed and nimble characteristics. The plunger style action ensures a reliable fire, while the double safety gives you peace of mind. Each rifle embodies the beauty of American manufacturing with quality components, Easton® Carbon Core ramrods and a selection of beautiful stocks for the look and feel of perfection. The Bighorn® uses a simple cocking system to provide easy performance, with lightning quick speed and nimble characteristics. Quality and accuracy are guaranteed with the Bighorn ® thanks to its handcrafted, stainless steel 26” Green Mountain barrel.
