Tell me, what company is using a better trigger than a Timney in any currently made mass produced inline muzzleloader? Sure appears to be a ton of Knights old and new winning the inline matches. I would imagine quite a few of those were still using the Velocity made triggers too. No doubt there are better triggers out there but they are few and far between even on upper end centerfire rifles. You wont even find many hunter grade rifles using triggers as good as a Timney or better unless spending big bucks.
If you want all the bells and whistles with tons of options build a ML off of a Rem700 single shot action. The action alone is about $500 with the X-Mark trigger. A top end Brux/Rock Creek/Shilen barrel with plug will set you back $600 or more. Another $500 for one of the upper end stocks and whatever a Jewel or better trigger costs. If you dont plan on shooting high end smokeless load you can get a Brux 45 1-20 Remage barrel for around $800 and DIY.
In the end you will have $2000 or more in a rifle that probably wont out shoot a well tuned Knight 45 1-20 by much if just using BH209 or Swiss.
I know you aren’t quoting me, just thought I’d ad. I absolutely LOVE my .45/1:20 Knight Mountaineer, It is actually the Nicest Rifle i Currently own, and that’s including my Centerfires. My comment about the Trigger was DEFINITELY not a Bash toward Knight, I stated that i would Love to see them Offer a HIGH END Trigger like the Bix’NAndy, or Jewell as an AD ON and Charge Whatever they have to Extra For it? For us guy’s that are Fine Trigger Spoiled with Ounce Triggers. I know I would have Bought one!!
The Stock Timney trigger is PLENTY and then some for The average Guy, Hunter, and Even competitive Shooters that can Adjust. But for us that are SPOILED with HIGH END Ounce Triggers, The Stock Timney’s leave a Bit to be desired. I have mine Set as Absolute low as i can get it, and keep it Safe, iirc it breaks about 1.5 Pounds. My Sidelock Set Triggers are 8-12 Ounces, The Difference is Staggering from the Bench
