New Knight Rifle
I went by the Knight Factory yesterday to pick up my new Mountaineer 45 caliber. And to my surprise, I was allowed to build my own. After I picked it up, I mounted a three by nine scope and off to the range. Yesterday it was about eighty degrees and sunny with very little wind. I started at the fifty yard line shooting a hundred grains of Triple 7 with 175 grains Barns. The first three shots came in at about 5/8 of an inch, just off the Bulls eye at nine o-clocks. Not bad for bore sighted gun. My next three shots were taken with the New 200 grains Blood Line with the same powder charge. It didn’t take me long to decide what bullet I will be shooting on the first hunt this year. The Blood line is a much longer bullet, and with that being said, you know it has a higher ballistic coefficient, I will be posting pictures after the next trip to the range. I brought home the entire set of targets so I could show off, to my Wife. My hat is off to the guys at Knight they really know how to build a muzzle Loader. I have been shooting a Knight Disc for the past sixteen years. My first was a 22 inch barrel that I bought in 1997; I liked it so well I bought a Master Hunter a few years later. This Mountaineer may be their best Rifle yet. I will let you know after I spend some extended time at the range, and pick up my new Ultra-Lite. Remember shoot straight, shoot often, and always shoot a Knight.
