The gun that came to mind was a Knight Disk Extreme (I think that was the name of it).
Anyhow, I was looking at guns a while back when I ran across the Knight Ultra Lite. I fell in love with the looks of the gun and the fact that the gun weighs in at only 6 pounds was about all I needed to go ahead and order one. The gun that I ordered is not the western version and that it is the 209 version. I absolutely love the green kevlar stock and stainless barrel!!!!
This will probably be the last Muzzle loader that I will ever have to buy! So, what do you guys think about this gun?
I have an Ultra Lite and for myself and many others it is an awesome rifle.
It is a very light rifle, but the recoil you will experience is reduced by two methods. 1. It has a very good Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad and 2. the stock has an aluminum block built into the Kevlar stock. The way the pad is built it helps direct some of the recoil down the pistol grip.
In the top 2 pictures you can see the bedding block that is built into the stock. This block besides helping reduce felt recoil insures that each time you take the barreled action in and out of the stock it returns to the same position in the stock.
Besides the Kevlar stock to help reduce the guns weight the barrel overall diameter has been turned down (contoured) to help reduce weight.
This picture shows the difference between a regular Knight 50 and a Ultra-Lite
This is one of the first targets that I shot from the rifle. For me this is pretty decent shooting - I know there a better target shooters than I out there and they would easily tighten this up.
I think you will really enjoy the rifle especially because of the weight factor. The 24" barrel does even make it a bit quicker getting on the deer than the longer more common barrel lengths.
Hope some of this helps...
