T/C northwest explorer

[Bridger]

I just bought a new T/C Northwest Explorer muzzle loader.After many years of hunting with an old knight rifle I have retired it.I can't wait shoot it this weekend.Does any one have one of these guns?

[Dirty Mike]

WHAT KNIGHT DID YOU HAVE?

[Bridger]

I have a LK93.

[carpsniperg2]

there is a few guys that have them but not to many. that gun has a very slow rate of twist and is not that great with todays modern sabots and conicales if you do a search at the top you might find them or just look threw the muzzleloader section good luck

I would like to have one. I'll be very interested in hearing how it shoots, and what bullets it prefers. I don't think you'll have a problem finding an accurate load.

I think i am the only other guy that has one on this site so far    it shoots fine with power belts the couple of times i have shot it. I'm probably gonna try and get back out there this weekend and get her dialed in a little better. i really like how easy it is to clean though.

Just bought one for my late Teanaway bull hunt.  Going with a 295gr bullet with 90gr of 777.  Haven't hunted with a muzzy for about 15 years, a lot has changed since then.  Going to be fun!

[carpsniperg2]

should be fun play around with diffrent powder weights and bullets and find what works best for you and your gun.

I'm returning mine.  The start key holing at 100 or more yard because of the slow twist rate with the new sabots and that's what I want to shoot.

I decided against purchasing it because of the twist rate and picked up a barley used Knight Bighorn last Tuesday.  Very interested on how things turn out for ya...please keep us posted.....Thanks

Im going with 100grn 777 and the Hornady 300grn sabot outa my bighorn. I'll post pics of my targets so you see how mines shootin with that combination!

I'm hearing the same elsewhere about the 1:48 twist.  I'm half temped to take it back before I shoot and get a Knight Bighorn.  That's the other gun I wanted and if I had done more research I don't think I would have purchased the T/C Northwest Explorer.  I just figured I couldn't go wrong with a Thomson Center gun.

-Better take it back or its going to be eatin at ya all summer Get a Knight!

[Bearhunter]

Exact thinking I was under.  But tommorrow mine is definetly going back I bought it two days ago and havent shot it.  There is only one bighorn available locally but shannon said I could borrow his so I may go that route.

I actually have a wolverine that i might sell if anybody is inerested. Camo stock stainless barrel. Nice compact gun, good back up if anything, brandnew. I just dont shoot it.
