Well at least that is what I call it. I remember when Knight was talking about bringing out their new gun. Shill Toby if I remember right even had a prototype. he did an article and test on the rifle . I was pretty excited . The Ultimate Slam was due out the upcoming year. Well instead of getting an ultimate Slam I ended up getting disappointed with the news that knight was closing their doors. There went the Ultimate Slam I had been so desperately waiting on.
Then the Plastic company bought Knight . Well it seemed that they were bringing out guns just using old stock to get rid of all the leftover barrels and stuff, but no Ultimate Slam. The word gets around that knight is bringing out a new gun. Woohoo !! well I bought one when they were available. It was called the Mountaineer.
I assumed, and I may be wrong, but I assumed it was the Ultimate Slam under a different name. Either way I got one. I hunted with it and it was a nice rifle and using 130 gr triple 7 or 120 gr blackhorn it was a great shooter. I took a very nice Refuge buck with it at 175 yards. It got put away and I forgot about it. .
I remembered it the other day and decided to get it out. This is my Ultimate Slam, oops excuse me , my Knight Mountaineer





I only used 110 gr Blackhorn and a 250 gr sst to see if it was still on paper. I got this first shot on a cold clean barrel at 100 yards. I don't hunt with sst's so I might as well shoot them up



That made me happy after the fiasco with the u-mag.
I took a couple more and got this



this was a 4 shot group at 100 yards. I have no doubt that it will tighten way up if I go back up in powder to the 120 or 130 that it likes.




instead though I decided to try some 200 gr 50 cal shockwaves. I know I cant hunt with them as the bullet is to small to meet GFP rules but I can shoot paper with them legally



first two shots were pleasing



then the 4 shot group. Not bad considering I didn't experiment or vary anything at all



It was actually hot out today.The barrel got hot after even 2 shots. The mosquitos were eating me alive so I decided to head back. I think this gun deserves another chance to hunt though.
