I like the Knight rifles and the way they shoot. I don't think anyone has gotten an inaccurate one that I read about. Even my old, old Knight still shoots under 2" at 100 yds. But you think with all the designs they have come up with that they would get away from that need to unscrew the knob/screw on the end of the bolt. I realize it is another safety mechanism but do you really think it is necessary?
Shoot if you do not like just ignore it - except when you need to take the bolt apart... |

OK just tell me how to call and I will test one for them this hunting season. That is just mean to show and not tell (haha).

Getting back to that need to unscrew the knob. I personnally don't like it and I am sure its a turn off for a lot of other shooters. And I don't like having to have the bolt face resting on the primer (if I unscrew it all the way). My reason is that I still hunt most of the time and often times I only have a couple seconds to get off a shot. Having to unscrew this 'safety' feature wastes valuable time and unnecessary movement.
Other than that I love the Knights. They shoot great and are light, reliable rifles. |

Especially for those that set their own triggers or triggers that have become worn over the ages and not reset... it is just a bit of added safety. My reason is that I still hunt most of the time and often times I only have a couple seconds to get off a shot. Having to unscrew this 'safety' feature wastes valuable time and unnecessary movement. I think most just turn it back and forget it until it comes time to take the bolt apart or you might be working on the gun to insure that the hammer does drop, and even then the gun is un-primed, you are just preventing a dry-fire. Other than that I love the Knights. They shoot great and are light, reliable rifles. |
As busy as you are you should send that 1:24 barrel to me and I will test it for you.
I would be willing to sacrifice bullets and powder for such a worthy cause. |
I guess i could test some similar load data in my Savage with a 1-24 too. :D
