Great look'n rifle. Looking forward to some target photos.
That is VERY SEXY !!!!! Nice job GM54--120 !!!! Its all black tie affair Handsome !!!!! I hope you post range reports . Bet it SHOOTS !!!!!!!Basically done now. Just need check ring torque and fit the other plug for the FPJ bolt. I could just shim one i got but i think im gunna get another Lehigh plug instead. I will set up the other plug for the RemSTS primers and the FPJ adapter. Still getting used to my new Canon cam but the pics look pretty good.
Lehigh picatinny rail (bedded w/JB Weld)
Contessa light weight 1" picatinny rings (lows)...REALLY nice double cross bar rings too.
Extreme TH stock (bedded and fork slightly shimmed)
Elite bolt internals in the Knight bare primer bolt body
Lehigh bare primer plug
Older Knight competition grade trigger. NOT a Timney but its a great trigger.
Vortex DB HP 3x12x42
I know this is a little old but I use a DE bolt in one of my Mountaineers and it works well. I use a Mountaineer breech plug though. I talked to a previous employee of Knight. The bolts are basically the same it’s the breech plug that’s different. The DE breech is a little shorter than the Mountaineers breech.I seem to remember someone saying that the DE bolt will work if you use a DE breach plug too?
Ah, i’ve only been using it on #11’s and bare primers. To much of a cheapskate to use plastic jackets.Thanks, that was cleared up several pages back. My Elite bolt however is super tight in the Mountaineer with a Mountaineer plug. My 54-120 is even tighter. Neither will close with the NFPJ adapter in the bolt. Both will crush a Win209 too much without the adapter in the bolt.
