Western Legal - Knight Ultra-Lite
« on: March 08, 2013, 05:27:52 PM »
It is going to happen... finally!  I have been waiting for several weeks for Knight to make a modification to the Ultra-Lite that I ordered.  I really wanted this light weight gun for hunting here in the west.  And because of our ML rules I have to use open sights and cap ignition during the ML portion of the hunting season.

During the regular rifle season I can convert it back to a modern inline rifle with a scope and 209 ignition.  While it will never replace the velocity, range, and energy that my Tikka Lite 300 Win Mag has, it's weight and looks are very comparable.

Knight has heavily contoured the barrel to rival the contour of a centerfire barrel and taken the heavy composite or laminate stock off and offered a realy strong Kevlar stock with aluminum internal bedding.  Dropping the weight of the rifle to near 6#'s.



I would really like to share more but I have to wiat for the dang mail system to get the rifle here - but more will come later...

Another thought that comes to mind also is that with the developemnt of the Western Ultra-Lite it will also be possible to make the regular Mountaineer into a Western Legal rifle...

I know this whole thing is not all that important to the majority of ML hunters and shooters out the - but for us in the Pac Northwest - Great.

I know it is expensive in a lot of peoples minds, but for me it is well worth the investment. It is a lifetime, versitile, do everything gun.  And really less expensive tha most of my centerfire rifles.

Yep!!! I am excited... :IBCOOL:

it should be 1:28 and should accept both nipples, same as the disc and big horn. Sabot loader are they now selling the ultra light with the western kit? Or is yours just a special order?

Mine started as a special request, but then there has been enough folks asking about it - Knight has made the move to make the option available.  At this time the option is not available from the online dealers so you do have to go through Knight.  And it will probably take a phone call to them...

It is set for either #11 or Musket and it is a 1-28 twist - wish it were a 1-24 but that is another matter.

Plugs... NFPJ Mountainer Plug and a couple of Western Plugs




Looks like this installed with bolt forward but not closed

 :hello: Thats great news that there will be a western kit for the mountaineer. I let a few really good deals on those get away. Hopefully we can get together in Benton City sometime this year so I can try out that ultra light.

I would think for an Outfitter this would be the perfect rifle - even saddle rifle
