Default WOW!! My Knight got here today!!!

Well the little brown truck dropped this beauty off today. I can honestly say it was better than I expected it to be. The cuts and detaiil are second to none. I was a little leary on ordering a gun that I really couldn't see the wood in but this is perfect for me. I really like the colors in it. The bolt is tight and the Lehigh conversion looks and feels good. The palm swell is perfect for my hand. The trigger feels crisp and breaks very clean. The gun came in a Knight hard case to boot!! I think I'm gonna like this one. It will be a couple of days till I can get it out to shoot but I will enjoy admiring it. I've used Leupold std dovetail mounts with a Vortex Viper HS,2.5x10x44 scope. I'm hoping that I can get good results with BH 209 and 275 DOA Lehighs. I will be using MMP sabots with them. I have included a few pics and they just don't do the gun justice. If you guys think of any questions that you may have on the gun, ask away and I will try to answer.

That is just a beautiful rifle. Be sure to tell us how well it shoots. I have to close my mouth now so I don't drool all over the keyboard.

Well that sucks. Not you, or the rifle. It is a beautiful rifle to be sure. But what can us poor lefties do with a thumbhole stock like that? At least CVA makes the stock ambidexterous.

Ive got to get one of those complete bolt assemblies when they have enough to sell separately!!!! It would look so nice on the LRH. Even a FPJ version would be ok if it has that handle and a Lehigh NFJP will fit.

Very nice looking.

yeah i was kinda surprised when I opened the big brown box and pulled out the hard case with my gun in it!! Bonus!!

One thing that I forgot to mention and most of you who follow Knights may have already known this, but the allen bolt to release the bolt is now a pin you pull out on, so if you are in the field and don't have any allen wrenches, no problem any longer, just pull out on the pin and the bolt slips right out. I really like this feature.

You're a cruel man onetohunt. Took me ten minutes to get my eyeballs back in after they popped out with the first picture.

She's a beauty for sure. I too love that color combination.
