Well I went to get some pics and my digital camera wouldn't turn on and it had fog behind the lens. So I can't get them up. I can get some stock pics and just tell about them. My 2 knights are the Knight Bighorn with a Bushnell sportsman that shoots 2 inches at 100 yards with 100 grains of pyrodex and a 250 grain sabot. And my other is another knight Bighorn with no scope that i bought because it was $50 in good shape. I plan to put a scope on it and get the barrel cut down to make it a good brush gun.

How does it shoot?

jjenkins · « **Reply #4 on:** November 26, 2007, 10:24:25 AM »

still working on getting it dialed in. i have shot it with 200 grain hornady SST and it did well (2 inch @ 100 yards) i need to tweek the powder charge . i was shooting 80 weighed grains of t-7 2ffg. also shot it with some 200 grain xtp with 100 grain by volume clean shot powder. this load hit 3 inches higher and 1 inch left of what the SST was doing. going to try some Barnes expander's soon. the t-7 powder leaves a nasty crud ring but the clean shot left no crud ring even after 8 shots with out running a patch down the barrel. hope to shoot some more this weekend

My encore loves 100grains of t7 and a 195 grain powerbelt areo tip. I have wanted to try the new platinums. Why don't you try that. Also my encore is a 45cal and both of my knights are 50's.

I've got a .50 Disc Elite with a Nikon Omega 3-9 on it, it will cut one hole at 75yds with several different loads, and does almost as good at 100. Just picked up a KRB7 Rolling Block about a month ago. Haven't had much time to play with it yet. I've got an Omega scope on it too. The barrel on the KRB is much tighter at the muzzle than the Elite, so tight that I can't hardly load any sabots in it. Once it's past the muzzle about 2" or so, it slids right home. I may have to check out PowerBelts or some other conicals in it. I like the rifle quite a bit, it handles great and feels good. Trigger is pretty good too.

i have had a lot of bad luck with power belt bullets. real poor blood trails i agree they shoot some of the best groups i have seen. i am not going to shoot any hogs with them. i shot a doe with a 348 grain power belt out of my t/c system 1 54 cal. @ 70 yards she was broadside i put it right behind the shoulder. went to spot where she was standing and found blood trail quit after 40 yards and i never did find her i looked for an hour. only luck i have had with them is shoot thru the shoulders

Yeah, I've heard a lot of horror stories about PB's. If I have to use them, I'll go heavy. I think that I'd rather shoot a regular conical instead though.

30-06man · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:24:19 PM »

Don't use a magnum load with them and if you can try out the hollow points, Powerbelt makes on of the best. Have you tried the super glides that t/c makes. They suck in most peoples encores but it might work in a knight.

Here is three of my favorites. Love the fit and feel of the ole MK-85's

30-06man · « **Reply #11 on:** December 29, 2007, 06:05:40 AM »

Nice. I really like the lam stocks. It makes the knights look like a more expensive gun than it really is. They are setting standards for fit and finish I believe.

I took this in on a trade about a year ago. I think it is an LK-93? Very good shape, hardly shot. The only thing about Knights that bothers me a little is the double safety, other than that it is very well made.

I believe that is a LK-93. I hope they don't sell out to a larger company like NEF did.

Knight sold out back in 1998 to EBSCO (Elton B. Stephens Company).

At least they have interest in Knight. I must have missed something.

Extremely nice setup. Any idea on when you will get another barrel?

Underclocked · « **Reply #18 on:** January 02, 2008, 01:41:49 PM »

No - I need to shoot this one some more when conditions are better suited for me and the rifle. The shooting results in my review are the result of conditions that were neither - more a torture test than not. I know the rifle will do better and I've added a thin shim inside the rear ring (above the recoil lug) that I believe will allow a zero more near the center of the scope's adjustments.

I'm strictly a muzzleloader guy these days, so I may not ever buy an additional barrel. Paid more for the KP1 than I would have the KRB7, but the aesthetics of the KP1 are more appealing to me and I HAD to have one.

The KRB7 is proving to be a very accurate model by all reports. I think Knight has a couple of winners on their hands. The rumor mill has yet another (Shadow) that will probably be introduced at SHOT.

Keep us informed in you find out anything new.

Just a pic of this years Ohio Meigs county deer, and my old lk-93. I believe a bought this 8 or 9 years ago for under $100 it never has failed me.

Nice Buck and ML.

Here's a LK-93 and a 9pt. ROGER

30-06man · « **Reply #23 on:** January 07, 2008, 11:24:50 AM »

Chocolate Antlers. I have only taken one with them and its a 8pt but scores at 120.

Here's my Wolverine

30-06man · « **Reply #25 on:** February 13, 2008, 04:49:59 PM »

Looks good. I am buying a used LK-93 tomorrow. I found one in good shape and a cheap scope for $50. I am going to have it as a loner ML. I don't really like lending out my other ML's to beginners and this would be a good model to start them out on and it won't hurt my wallet that bad.

O44 · « **Reply #26 on:** February 24, 2008, 05:01:14 AM »

Was wondering other than the hollowed out stock what the differance between a LK 93 and a wolverine are I have an old 54 cal LK

30-06man · « **Reply #27 on:** March 01, 2008, 02:48:37 PM »

Not too sure. I missed out on the LK93 deal due to it being sold behind my back. My experience with the LK93 is very limited.
