Default Knight Elite on the way!!

Well I finally have an Elite on the way. Maybe it will get here in time to scope it and work up a load for rifle season this coming weekend. If not I guess I can always turn to the trusty Tiumph or the Disc Extreme. They are both ready to go. There's just something about hunting with a new gun if you know what I mean.

Unfortunately Chet, many of us know that all too well. WAIT! That's fortunately.

I hope it get there quickly for you.

i normally sell my new rifles before hunting season even gets close! If you want a tip: NEVER buy a new muzzleloader after hunting season. I didnt even get to sight in my .58cal big bore mtn rifle thanks to UC getting me hooked on the Accura.

It's a 50 cal. black synthetic stock and I think it is blued but I don't remember now.I made the deal to buy it back in Sept. but some things happened to hinder that so I just now got to have it shipped. Pretty sad when you can't even remember back to Sept. Then again I have problems remembering from the time I leave the house til I get to town. I always forget something. Hopefully it will be here by Thursday. I have an Omega scope for it . I sure am anxious to try it out.

I vaguely remember that. You thought the Elite was such a good gun that it was the only gun a person needed, so you were going to trade me ALL your guns for the Elite. I remember now. PM me the address and we can get this done.

The gods of muzzle loading don't like fibbers. I bet you dryball that Elite within the first ten rounds.
