Howdy from eastern Oregon,, Being a newbie to ML my first ML was a CVA, My last will be Knight ,,I have been a hunter most my life and very active in the out door sports area ,fishing, hunting, archery, hounds,, Last year was Wife and my first year Archery Elk hunt together ,So she's committed archery Elk hunter now ,,I called in 9 bulls last year For her.
Wife & I went to Sportsmans Warehouse 6-1-15 And I bought a new Knight Ultra Lite .50cal ,, After getting it home Noticed the bolt was Hard to open after firing ,,Some Help from my friend Sabotloader & iam ready to go shoot it ,,Mike calls me ,Winch man ,Been called worse,,

Winch Man you know I attached that nic-name because of those crazy little winches you build for those small cars I want to say 'toy cars' but someone would get mad at me for calling their hobby a 'toy'. I could not believe the power you develop with them and how small they are.
I hope you get out and start breaking that rifle in soon!

Will do next week ,,, New Williams site and Thor bullets will be here,,

After having my new Knight Ultra lite since the 7-1-15 I finally found some time to shoot it tonight ,, It is what Has been said about it ,a very good shooting ML rifle. I used Thor .50cal 247 gr bullets, 110 grains of triple 7 fff powder,
Thank you Sabotloader for the good help and the bolt loosened up some while shooting 9 shots threw it ,,

Dang! Winch Man for a brand new gun out of the box and the first time shooting it you stacked them right in there. I really hope it was fun! Now you need to get you some less expensive bullets and maybe even some sabots so ya can do a lot more shooting! That one picture of you holding the rifle it just looks natural for you. Did you show yer brother the results. And the results will just get better the more you shoot and handle it.
How about the peep - did that work out for you? One thing I forgot to mention - in low light situations you can simply unscrew the peep aperture out of the sight and use the whole thing as a 'ghost ring setup'
Gordy sent a package I need to get out your direction also.
If they will let you, the range people, get a box of clay pigeons (the biodegradable ones) set them out there in front of you at different ranges and pick them off - ton of fun.
This bullet from Lehigh could be a real good alternative in combination with a bit of Knurling and a sub-base
