Been doing some serious comparisons between my T/C Black Diamond XR and my new Knight MK85. Some results are quite surprising, but one of the most striking is the extremely positive benefits of T/C's QLA. It eliminates the need for a short starter ( in my rifle) and gives excellent protection to the true crown. Not so the Knight. I use bore guides in both but it is a necessity for the Knight with its traditional muzzle/crown. The advantage of the QLA in a hunting rifle can not be overstated. Yes there have been poorly bored QLA's , but there have been some horrendous crowns too.. Both rifles are roughly comparable in accuracy, but the addition protection afforded by the QLA gives it a significant leg up on the Knight in terms of preserving accuracy. More to follow on the comparison, but regarding muzzles, I wish the MK85 had a QLA.
