I really needed to try out this new Bushnell trophy XLT 3-9x40 (DOA) scope today. It was sent to me along time ago and i have not found time to try it out.

I also had a new Base to try and a new barrel, and a new stock as well. So pretty much everything was new today. I mounted the new base on the new barrel along with the Bushnell scope. It all looked great and worked great. I only got two shoot 2 groups before a bad storm came.

I took some pictures with the phone before i left. I actually thought some changes needed made on the base but after 7 shots with it i think it's just fine.

Sabotloader,
Thanks for the stock and the winter camo. I thought you were going to put a new recoil pad on for me? Just kidding.......LoL

BTW- Not enough time to really test anything. Need to wait for another day.

nice looking rifle. And I kind of like the looks of that scope.

Sweet looking set up. Other than looking cool, is there a reason to jewel the bolt?

Also, any blow back with those primers?

Looks good, but not enough shooting with it yet for me. I don't like the scope covers. Everything else is fine so far.

Jeweled bolt is looks only. Knight was big on jeweled bolts and 27" barrels. I wanted shorter barrels and no jeweled bolts.

No blow back at all with this one. This bolt doesn't crush the primer as well as my Mountaineer but works great.

I like the Knight rifles and the way they shoot. I don't think anyone has gotten an inaccurate one that I read about. Even my old, old Knight still shoots under 2" at 100 yds. But you think with all the designs they have come up with that they would get away from that need to unscrew the knob/screw on the end of the bolt. I realize it is another safety mechanism but do you really think it is necessary?

The scope base is for testing only right now.
