Not talking about the new guns but an accessory....

I, and several other folks, have been product testing a new range rod for several months now, and it is finally coming to the market place. It should be available from the Knight web site shortly...

But let me tell you about it... because IMO it really is not just a good one it is a great one.

Grouse began the process of developing this rod and took his idea to Lehigh... from there Dave improved on the first thoughts and he ran out a few test rods. Then folks testing the rod provided a formal feedback process to his company and additional changes were made. I am proud to say one of my thoughts was used on the final product. Tom's orignal thoughts have brought about an excellent product the ML community. Dave added some space age technology in the way the ball bearing handle works and the final design of the Charge Height Indicator...

OK - the DISCLAIMER as Semi already knows I am not a writer nor a photographer - I am just user from north Idaho... so as you got through this information if you choose to read it - you may have to fill in some words, correct some spelling, and add in the missing thoughts. But I really am excited to show you this new product available from Knight....

Here is a picture of the basic rod and the associated parts....





These next pictures I hope will explain the rod and it's functions.






Before you ask I am not sure what the retail price is going to be... that will be the next part of the mystery

Looks like a real nice rod!! The cost will be the deciding factor. I don't know that i could justify $100-120 on a range rod. Just a guess of what it may cost. I have no idea.

Looks nice......but the $$$$ is the main factor.
also i cant wait to read MD's reply

It was a fantastic rod before the improvements. Those changes will make it even better. If you shoot a lot, as many of us do, it will be well worth the price of a few canisters of Blackhorn and will last a lot longer. (Longer than any of us. )

It's difficult to envision the difference using a quality loading rod with features like this one makes until you actually use one.

been using the prototype since early this year.

Not cheap but a very good range rod.

These Rods have been being tested for sometime now. Atleast four or five members of this board and some friends. There also were some rods sent to a company and they sent them out to there own product testers to test out as well. So probably 15 or 20 of them went to people i or Lehigh doesn't even know.

The Rod is by far the best Rod i ever used or have seen. Alot of safety features are on this rod and it's built second to none. I'm sure most people will agree when they get there own.

I noticed Knight has them on the web-site now.
