I got tired of taking the Knight apart and cleaning it. Ordered a T/C Triumph. Not a Bone Collector, just blue on black Triumph (about $375 shipped from Midwest Hunters Outlet online). Local dealers wanted $399 then I would have to pay taxes. I swapped my scope from the Knight BK92 and headed to the range. I used 100gr of Shockey's Gold (I started using it when it was "Clean Shot" then "American Pioneer"), green Knight Sabot and Hornady 265 gr 444 Marlin bullets for reloading. I am too cheap to pay a dollar/shot for bullet-sabot blister packs. It took me about 8 shots to get the gun to 1 inch high at 50 yds and two shots touching. At 100yds, I only shot twice. Bother were about four inches low and 1 inch apart. I quit while I was ahead.
The breech plug was a breeze to pull after each shot. I thoroughly cleaned between shots and spaced the shots. I can see that if one shot too many times without pulling the plug, the tool would have to be used to get the plug out, but, the tool would hit the scope making it impossible to use the tool as designed. But, it is sooo easy to pull it after each shot there is no reason to get it that dirty.
Question: I removed the sights for scope clearance and was able to use plug screws (I don't know what they are called) to plug the rear sight holes. The front sight hole is too big for any I could find. Has anyone plugged on of these? What did you use (size) and where did you find it? My local 'smith could not match it.
Sorry for the longish post, but I like to share good product news.
