Bestill Knight/Brux Ultra-Lite SML

[Boonechaser]

I picked up a Knight Ultra-lite that was rebarreled with a Brux 1:20 by Jeff at Bestill, a few weeks ago from Lou (Ourway77). It was a beautiful gun and very lightweight. Scott (SCHUNTER) was selling it last December and even though I’d been a member for years, (on modern Muzzleloading) I didn’t have enough post to try and buy it. So, technically I am the third owner but am just as excited as if I had it built.

After receiving the gun I contacted Jeff about adding a brake and funnel (was worried about the light weight gun kicking like a mule) media blast entire action (never been a fan of polished guns) and converting it to LRMP from 209.

Received the gun back from Jeff, yesterday and unfortunately, even with his very fast service, I was unable to make it to the range before our opening day (today) but I did get my 1pc Murphy Mount, 30mm Badger rings and a Leupold VX-6HD all mounted up and I was surprised that it weighed, right at 9lbs. It’s lighter than my Encore heavy tapered 20” 357 max and way lighter than the Encore with the Brux Arrowhead barrel. I believe I’ve found my new go to rifle, she’s definitely a beaut! I can’t say enough about Jeff’s work and the very fast service that he provided me. If the USPS hadn’t lost it for two days, I would have been able to sight in and use it today.

From everything I have read about Jeff's work, she will be a
shooter as well as a "looker".
