What suggestions do you have for a :

Any information received will be greatly appreciated.

Did two breech plugs and an adaptor came with the rifle? I only got the one breech plug and twenty of the primer jackets with some bullets. Of course there was the breech plug wrench and allen wrench.

Replacement ramrod.. I might go with a Super Rod from Cains Outdoors. I have one on another rifle and it is a very good ramrod. It seems very strong and well made.

recommendations of bulletes and sabots.. is a good question. Knight would tell you 250 or 300 grain Knight RED Hot sabots, and 100-120 grains of loose or 100-150 in pellets.

starting loads.. anyone's guess right now.

Simple for Replacement Ramrod, XS Power Rod, Knight sells them:

or the RMC Rugged Ram Rod:

Most Knights shoot the Barnes bullets marketed by Knight, the Ultimate Slam or the Knight version of the Barnes MZ called the Red Hot, see
http://www.knightrifles.com/catalog.aspx?catID=BulletsSabots.

These are excellent bullets. I would read the manual and see what Knight recommends you shoot these bullets at, usually 2 777 or pyrodex pellets. I am sorry I don't know what FPJ means for primers, Federal?

Yes I received 2 breech plugs one with a long stem and an adapter that fits in the bolt face. I also received allen wrench and a bore jag as well as the breech plug wrench and 10 solid lead bullets and sabots.




When I said FPJ I meant that red plastic jacket that Knight advertises. Thanks

Oh, I see. Yes, my son hasa Knight rifle and uses the red plastic jacket,the primersare hard to get in and you will need a tool to do it, a pair of plyers works. Another friend of mine reuses the red jacket, and punches the primers out with a nail punch. Any primer will work, I like Federal and Winchester or CCI. You don't need to buy the expensive 777 and Kleen bore primers, any will work.

Should I use the KNIGHT plastic primer holder or use the adapter ...I know one is probably more watertight .

use the FPJ, the conversion isn't that great of a setup. your not supposed to reuse the jackets after firing. i use the knight tool to load jackets but you don't need it. just lay the primer upside down on a table and push the jacket over it.
the barnes bulets tend to shoot the best as the other posts have stated.
i like the extenion rod that came with my master hunter, don't recall what model rod it is.

I would agree if your in very wet conditions all the time, that is a wise practice. However, if your on a limited budgetor like to save a buck then reusing the jackets is wise. What is the issue if it works? Think Knight might saythat to make more money? The price on the newred jackets are about double the origonal discs. They should be about the same cost as the orange discs.

I am kind of curious after reading this post as to what actually came with the rifle as accessories...

I received;

one breech plug
one loading jag
20 red primer adaptors
six bullet/sabot combinations
DVD
instruction manual
allen wrench
breech plug wrench
four scope screw fillers

does that sound right. I was kind of surprised today when I got the sabots and bullets out.. I thought.. cheap buggers, six bullets is all? I think I got someone's return rifle....
