Good morning Folks,
Spoke with Justin this morning and purchased my Knight Ultra Lite (Colorado Version), 50 Caliber with the Bare Primer Ignition System. That system is back ordered at this time so it may be a little longer than the 3 - 4 weeks.
Note: The Colorado Version comes with Williams Sights, which I will be using prior to scoping the rifle at closer distances in the event I cannot use an optic or the optic fails.
I also ordered the Murphy Precision Rail in Stainless with the bead blast finish. When this comes in I’ll take some measurements and determine what height mounts I need but plan on using Nightforce Xtreme Duty (steel) rings.
I also have the planned scope on order which is a Nightforce SHV 3-9x42 with the illuminated forceplex reticle. I don’t want to “dial” for distance on this muzzleloader and my focus will be determining max point blank range for hunting once I dial in an accurate load.
I have a Harris BRM-S Bipod with a KMW Podlock waiting to go on it as well as a Mountain Shooter Sling with HD Swivels.
While some of these things may add a little weight to a light rifle I‘m ok with that and hope to keep the setup under 10 lbs with the ability to “trim” weight if needed (remove optic and bipod). I prefer a bipod on all rifles as it provides a stable way to put the down versus leaning on stuff...
I’ll plan on updating this thread once the rifle comes in and before / after it goes out to @bestill who has been very patient answering questions for me. Jury is still out on which system I am going to have him do but its between the 1 piece, 2 piece and ASG 209 mod he does.
Thank you for everyone who has been helping me out along the way here.
