Default RE: Knight rifles

ORIGINAL: bigcountry

I have had I think 3 of these. I always liked thier accuracy and components. But on my 1995 version, my rifling is very deep. Same with my 1999 wolverine. But my disc elite doesn't ahve this deep rifling. I talke to knight and they said they changed over a bit from single point cut rifling to button rifling (draggin a carbide die thru). I have owned both on high dollar centerfire barrels from dan lilja and krieger, and both shot excellent.

Just wonder if that deeper rifling was any better? I know my older knight was a little overbore, but my newer one is just like my TC encore.
I prefer shallower rifling in a muzzleloader. Deep grooves can let the rain run past your sabot into your powder. Shallower rifling and a sabot acts as a better seal. Just my 2 cents.
