You brought up a point I forgot. The barrels are cheap but a great improvement for CVA. In my opinion three steps backwards for T/C.

What does a Knight Mountaineer have to do with a Bergara barrel? If you don't like what you see or hear then don't buy one. Isn't that the obvious thing to do?

FYI- Did you ever wonder why T/C made a fixed barrel Pro-hunter? :lmao:

BTW- It's impossible to send a wrong bolt with a Mountaineer. And i know of none of the information you are saying. So it's obvious, you don't find out info on your own and you listen to others or make up stories for attention.

So the Knight Mountaineer uses the same bolt for NFPJ and FPJ? I know of one that was bought for NFPJ and when it arrived it was set up for FPJ. Why should you know of all the problems? Are you VP of Knight rifles? Your quote of ruining a good muzzleloader was your way of saying Knight is the Best. You may say it wasn't but a lot of us know what you ment.

i do so love them cheap cva barrels, especially the Wolfs barrel shooting blackhorn and powerbelt aerolites at 100 yards.

You have no clue about what you are saying. You dream things up for attention. The T/C triumph is an awesome ML. It was a heck of alot better then the Encore, and 2 or 3 prohunters I owned. I helped design the bolt and breech plug for the mountaineer that's why I know. And I also have a friend at Knight rifles that keeps me in the loop. I can't comment on your post's anymore because it clearly shows how much you don't pay attention.

What barrel was in the Accura? Wasn't it a Bergara?

Actually probably should thank you for bringing up those problems and they were problems. But:

If you would go back and read the later posts I think you would find that the individual told us that he was loading the primer wrong and then crushing it in the primer pocket. He did not know that were rails in the nose of the bolt the primer was suppose to go in. And of course that would also not allow the both to close. Once in awhile operator error needs to be considered.

I do not remember anyone saying that got the wrong bolt/bp so you must have read that one someplace else, so I am unable to comment on that one. But it does seem like it would be awful tough to do since the bolts are different for the Extreme and the Mountaineer.

The only thing I remember is Knight sending a new bolt and BP to the individual that was not placing the primer in the bolt correctly, hoping that would cure the problem he was reporting.

+ all three of these problems were fixed when the poster was shown how to load primers in a Mountaineer... Had it been an Extreme it would have worked great.



I would be my guess they will start showing up as the folks that have them start shooting them. Of course then you have to wonder how many of the ones that have em, belong to one of these forums???

Nope I did not read it on here. Got the report over the telephone. Gun arrives set up to shoot FPJ's when it was ordered to shoot NFPJ. Fed209A's stuck in bolt face. You should not have to dry fire after every shot to get the primer out.

No story telling here Grouse. Your funny when you get mad. :lolabove:

That group was with my Wolf which basically is a Bergara but they skip the multi honing process to keep the price tag down on the rifle.

This is the Accura v2 with the true Bergara barrel from 150 yards with 120gr BH209, crush rib and 260 harvester scorpion pt gold.


Another Bergara on the Apex with 100gr BH209, 295gr powerbelt @ 100 yards with an old man behind the rifle ;)

You are right. I barely pay attention to anything you write. :happy0157:

Very nice for a young man. I can't wait to take my Dad hunting this year. 75 years young.

I think and I do not know as you say for sure... but the guy purchased (ordered) the original gun at a gun show in his home town (was actually looking for a new shot gun at the show). At the show he ordered a NFPJ and then later called Knight and changed it to a FPJ, even changed the color of the stock, as he believed it suited his needs better.

He did call me on the land line to talk about his decisions - I did not really go along with his decision totally as I would have gone with the NFPJ-- but the key point as I told him it is your descision not mine or ours + you can always order the gear need to make the other switch.



Why should you know of all the problems?
I really do not, I am just a bit familiar with the two case you are pointing out...


Are you VP of Knight rifles?
I sure wish I were but no I am not - actually wouldn't mind owning some stock if they sold stock.


Your quote of ruining a good muzzleloader was your way of saying Knight is the Best. You may say it wasn't but a lot of us know what you ment.
Both of you are with to sensitive to what each of you say... Both of you need to move on - it is what it is - and you are both dragging a thread down that has nothing to do with what the thread was about.

Bolts and Plugs

No, Steve they are different... Both the bolt and the BP that go in the Mountaineer will not work in a Extreme and what works in the Extreme will not work in the Mountaineer.

The Extreme uses the old standard combination bolt for FPJ and NFPJ with a primer adapter and uses a newly designed BP for BH compatibilty... Both the FPJ and NFPJ have had modifications to the BP to enhance the ability to shoot and sustain shooting BH.

The Mountaineer requires a different bolt for NFPJ and FPJ + defferent BP's. Both are available from Knight you can order which ever one you want standard with the purchase + you can by the other if you want to have both ignition systems.

I thought some of your questions were directed at me - maybe not - just providing some information...
