    Woodman Patriot Durability?

    I've been reading post about the Patriot. I've never been a huge fan of break-action guns, perfering Knight's. I was leaning towards ordering the following: - Patriot .45 1-18 twist - High Pressure adjustable breechplug I'd like to shoot Fury 265 STB bullets with Reloader 7, mainly because I...

    Going Sabotless?

    I've been reading and think I know what I need to shoot sabotless. Can you guys confirm or tell me if I'm missing anything? I currently have a Knight Ultra-Lite .50, BH209, wool wads, and .452 Fury 265 gr. STB bullets. I would need a Knight Ultra-Lite Barrel Kit in .45, and a Hankins smooth...

    Weighing Powder

    I have a habit of over thinking. I weighed my volume charges today to check for consistency. Here is what I did, seems to simple am I missing anything? I have an old Redding post beam scale. I had about 10 premeasured BH209 loads, 110 grains by volume. I dumped the 1st one on the scale and...

    Tract Optics

    Does anyone have any experience with Tract Optics? I like the direct to consumer business model. The reviews I've read have been positive, but I always view them with some reservation.

    1st Omega. WOW

    My daughter shoots a Knight LK93. She was having issues cocking it due to hand strength. I found a used Omega Z5, with a Nikon Prosatff scope. It is a little rough, slightly pitted bore, but not bad and reasonably priced. I cleaned the bore as well as I could and drilled out the flame channel. I...

    Winchester 209's in VA

    Thought I'd return the favor and share this. Was passing through and stopped at Green Top today. They had W209 primers on sale. Bought a box of 1000 for about $70. I hadn't seen them available for some time.

    Still working on open sights

    In my part of the state we have several early and extended antlerless deer seasons. Decided to make a go of it with open sights, been along time. I have an ongoing shoulder issue.

    Shot Placement?

    I have access to about 70 acres to deer hunt. The land that it borders changed hands about two seasons ago. The new owners are opposed to hunting. The best area to hunt is a hardwoods flat bordering their land. They will not allow anyone to recover shot animals on their property. Negotiations...

    Knight Ultra-Lite Accuracy?

    What are you guys seeing accuracy wise? I've been playing around with different loadings. Harvester PT Gold, Barnes 290's, and XTP's. The accuracy is fine. Most of my groups are .75-1.5 inches at 100 yards. I'm not the greatest shot. Just looking for comparrrison. I have a stainless MK-85 that...

    Hard Case

    Anyone have a recommendation on a hard case for a rifle? Would like to setup something to travel, by car, that offers protection with a customizable interior. I have used a lot of Pelican cases at work. They are great just cost a fortune.

    1st kill new gun

    Finally got the chance to pull the trigger on my, new to me, Knight Ultra-Lite. Shot a smallish doe at sunset. I needed her to fulfill the earn a buck requirement. 110 grains of BH209, 290 Barnes, and a Winchester 209. Took the shot at about 70 yards. She never took a step. I love the rifle...

    Hankins pre-fit barrels

    Please excuse my ignorance, I know nothing about smokeless muzzleloaders. I have a remington 700 AAC-SD in .308 I do not use. I was looking at Hankins pre-fit barrels. Is a conversion as simple as installing and head spacing the barrel? What else is required? Do the modules work with the stock...

    Bore Rust Frustration

    I own two blued Knights, an American and an MK-85. I bought both of these used. The exteriors are in good shape. On both, I always get rust on the patch after and in-between cleanings. I've tried everything I can think of, repeated cleanings, steel wool, and bore paste. I am using a quality oil...

    Skinner Lo-Pro

    Has any one tried the Skinner Lo-Pro on a Whitetail? It seems like an affordable option. It comes in two screw sizes. Are Whites tapped for 6-48 screws? Thanks for the help.

    Accessory Advice

    I was getting stuff prepared today for Virginia's September anterless season. I realized my powder flask and measure are done. Both are plastic T/C products I bought in the mid 90's and lasted way longer than I expected. Anyone have recommendations for quality replacements? I was looking at Ted...

    More Youth Load Development

    My mind has turned to hunting again. I had my old stainless Knight LK-93 out. I have a lot of memories and deer with that rifle.. My daughter shoots it now, claims it as hers. Anyway, she is 17 now so we decided to look for a hotter load that is still low recoil. I can only shoot to 50 yards at...

    209 Primer ?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I appreciate your experiences. I just started shooting a Knight Ultra-Lite. I'm getting good crush on the primer and no blow back through the breechplug. During hunting season, can I reuse the primer if I don't shoot? Will the primer stay sized correctly...

    MK-85 for sale on another site

    I have no dog in this. I don't know the seller and have never done buisness with them. If I hadn't just bought an Ultra-Lite, I'd be giving this serious consideration. The price is on the high end,, but I've never seen a thumbhole MK-85 in Walnut. I thought someone on here might want it.

    Fury Universal Fit

    Has anyone shot these in a .50 Knight? Would like to try them in my Ultra-Lite, but would like to avoid an expensive test if others have failed.
