Default New Knight Mountaineer .45 1:20 Ordered

I figured this deserved it’s own thread, After Shooting my Sidelock Scoped up again this morning, i struggled with it due to Eye Relief, I stil shot it well, No complaints there. But I know i can do better with a More Comfortable Rifle/Scope setup, I knew when i got home and Cleaned the Ole Sidelock Rifle that it was time to remove the Scope Mount permanently and Re Install my Lyman 57SML Peep Back on the Rifle. Then I decided it was time to make the Plunge and Order a Brand New Knight Mountaineer .45 Cal 1:20 Twist I went with Stainless Steel, With the Forest Green Thumb Hole Stock, Bare Primer.

Through a close friend, I have a chance at a REALLY nice Scope at a more reasonable price than usual, It is a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×50, I need to go see him Tomorrow
My next search was for a SOLID Scope Base, For me personally a Scope Base and Rings need to be Steel, No exceptions here!! I don’t like Aluminum at all! I also really like a 1 Piece Base, In my search i came across this Murphy’s Precision 1 Piece for the Knight Mountaineer (Thanks GM54-120, and Squeeze) I REALLY liked the looks of this Scope Base, I went 20 MOA, and decided to Go with the Stainless Steel instead of Titanium, Since this Rifle will primarily be a Bench/Target Gun the Extra Weight of Steel is a Welcoming thing, The Titanium is quite a bit lighter, and 65 bucks more. It wasn’t the price, At this point price doesn’t really matter, i guess

I even have a Brand New Jug of BH209 that I didn’t think I would ever use? I am excited to get everything and put it together!!
