UPDATE Knight Vision Performance. A must see.

[grouse]

After getting a couple emails from people looking for a good shooting Muzzleloader at a reasonable price. I think i found the one. I bought this Knight Vision used a couple years ago. It wasnt used much and i liked the way it operated. The only down side was alot of blowback. Well Knights new breech plug fixed that problem.

A couple years ago i couldnt really get this gun to group real well. I never thought nothing of it, but it came with some cheap alunimun bases. Well i bought some steel warne bases and loc-tite the base screws and boy she shoots a variety of different bullets well now.

I started off with a 125grns of BH209 and the 250grn Lehigh all Brass bullet. Then did the same with the 250grn SST. I lost both pics and went to 140grns of BH209. Here's a pic with the 250grn SST at 100yds with a average velocity of 2315 fps. Not bad with a 250grn bullet and 140grns of BH209.


Next up was the 200grn bullets with a 135grns of BH209. Here is the Lehigh with a average velocity of 2322.



Here's the 200grn SW with 135grns of BH209.



For the money this ML is really hard to beat. The Sportsman guide has 150 all camo for sale at $179.00 bucks. Yes, i have one of those on the way.

Thanks for the report.

It just confirms that it doesn't take $$$ to find a good shooting ML.

I just got my all camo Vision from the sportsman guide. $179.00 bucks and it has the new breech plug already in it i have been talking about for BH209 and no blow back. WOW.....what a deal.

The Sportsman guide is selling all camo Triumphs for $179.00 bucks. What a deal. I just got mine in the mail. Here are some pics. I do want to note that this came with the new BH209 plug that has hardly any blow back if any.

That's a good looking rig Grouse. As soon as I saw the camo version I beagan toying w/ the notion of getting one, but the Sportsman Guide is showing them as sold out. That's three times this week that I have lolly-gagged around and missed good ML deals. Anyway..... great range report with the Vision. It's definitely a shooter. Kevin

Definitely like the looks of the all camo gun.

One of my buddie's showed me this gun 2 weeks ago, when he got the catalog. I e-mailed him Grouse's review of this gun & Knight's new B/P for it.

I had to pass on it, since I committed to another gun. It looks like he lost out...You knew they wouldn't last.

I dont think there sold out. There was 180 of them Friday.

I order one and they went back ordered. But within a few days I got an email that said it was in and then shipped. Got it within a few days and it is a great looking gun. My only problem is with the L.O.P. The stock is too long for me. They advertise it is 14.5", which is average and it is longer then that. I having to do a few work arounds, but I am optimistic all will work.

I ended up buying a new Leupold Ultimate Slam for her. It should make for a great ML.

Grouse:

Thank you for the information. You mentioned that you are using steel warne bases and loc-tite the base screws. Do you know the specific warne item that you are using? I recently purchased a Long Range Hunter, and I am trying to figure out what exact type of scope bases will fit Knight Rifles and will be high quality. Thank you.
