    Recovered a Fury STB this morning

    Been shooting the 265 gr Fury STB for a few seasons now and finally recovered one this morning. The powder load was 110 gr BV of Blackhorn. The shot was about 40 yards, quartering towards me. Aimed for the base of the neck where it met the forward shoulder. The shot ended up more into the...

    First range trip with the Ultra-lite

    I'm on vacation this week, so got out early this morning with the new Ultra-lite to get it sighted in and start seeing what it likes. Today, I was shooting a .452, 265 gr Fury STB sized to .451 using a vege wad with 110 gr (by volume) of BH209 and CCI mag primers. After initial sight in at...

    All dressed up and ready for the range.

    Finally got around to setting up the Ultra-lite this afternoon. Topped it off with a Murphy Precision rail. Warne steel rings and a 2-10×40 Burris Signature HD. Even with the steel rail and rings, I'm pleased with the overal weight of the setup. It feels great. Looking forward to seeing...

    Waiting is the hardest part

    Anyone else got a rifle on order from Knight? I've heard they're backed up on processing orders but, man, this waiting is getting long in the tooth. These nice, Springs days are just screaming for me to hit the range.....but yet, I'm still waiting. 🙄🙄🙄 sigh

    Shooting sabotless....bullet recommendations.

    Ok...I've got a .45 caliber knight ultra-lite on order. I plan on shooting sabotless with this rifle, so I'm already starting to think about bullets. For sabotless shooting, what bullets have you had good success with in sizing and overall performance?

    My wife's gonna make me quit hanging out on here 🤪

    Seeing the different posts about Knight Ultra-lites over the last couple of months has done gone and made me order one this evening. I've been wanting a fast twist .45 for a while and the temptation was just more than I could bare. My wife's gonna think ya'll are a bad influence for sure now. 🤣🤣🤣

    225 gr XPB vs deer shoulder

    Took the Optima pistol out for a morning hunt yesterday. First time this season I've had it out. Last season, I had switched from a 240 gr XTP to a 225 gr Barnes XPB with 90 gr by volume of Blackhorn. Through the chrono, this setup produces a touch over 1600 fps. I've always been careful to...

    Breech plug rubber O-ring and point of impact.

    Here's a question....How much, if any, difference could it possible make in point of impact if your forget to replace the rubber o-ring in the primer pocket? I have a CVA Optima and I use the rubber O-rings in the primer pocket to eliminate blow back. They work great and I change them out...

    Scope mounts for a knight disc extreme.

    UPS dropped off this little beauty last night while I was at work. I'd been contemplating picking up another Knight rifle, so when I saw they had the Disc Extreme on sale it was hard to pass up. Probably won't make it to the range until after this hunting season is over but I'm already...

    Weekend project...Optima getting a face lift.

    After a few years of being hauled through the woods and such, the Optima V2 is getting a face lift. My Optima is one of the last years that they made the black synthetic with blue steel. Thought I'd change things up a bit and add some weather resistance. Everything has been cleaned, prepped...

    Speer 270 gr .429 DeepCurl...Anyone?

    Recently had a friend give me a box of .429 270 gr Speer DeepCurl soft points. Figured I'd give them a try through the Optima V2 to see how they shoot. Anyone have any experience on game animals with this bullet? Did a forum search and didn't come up with much on the deep curl in that weight...

    Range day with the Optima pistol, chrono data

    I took the day off for the Labor day weekend and decided to make a trip to the range. My primary reason for going was to sight in a new 45-70 I purchased the other week but decided to take the CVA Optima V2 pistol along to run some shots through the chronograph. I hadn't chrono'd my hunting...
