Knight</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Long</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Range</st1:PlaceType> Hunter. 50 caliber with 1:28 twist fluted stainless barrel in gray laminated right hand thumbhole stock. This rifle was received from Knight in January 2011 right after Knight re-released a limited production run of this great muzzleloader. The rifle has a Lehigh breech plug installed so it will take a 209 primer without the plastic jacket. The rifle has a new Burris Signature select 3-10 ballistic flex matte finish scope in new Burris Signature Select (Post Align) rings. I have wanted one of these for quite some time and an urgent issue forces sale. Everything is new and never fired. Will ship where is legal to own. Original fiber optic iron sights include with rifle along with all Knight Accessories and manual that came with the rifle and the scope box and warranty card as well.

So, I read the details on knight's website:
http://www.knightrifles.com/long-range-hunter-MLRH707TW/

Didn't tell me:

What is it that makes this longer range and more accurate? Does it take 150 grains of powder OR more? Very cool!

Skip,

I shoot 150 grains of loose triple seven, 250 grain T/C ballistic tip bullet and a 209 shotgun primer through my Knight Long Range Hunter.

I have it topped off with a Nikon BDC ML scope; this firearm is deadly at 250-300 yards.

Wow, I didn't know you could shoot 150 grains of loose out of any knight rifle. Is the long range hunter different? Everything I have seen is 120 grains loose max and 150 grain max with the pellets. Just wondering. Beautiful rifle!
 
This is taken directly from green mountain barrels website which is who made the barrels for Knight. I never really understood the difference in 150 grains of pellets vs 120 grains loose. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Exceeding maximum powder charge of 120 gr. Black Powder FFg by volume, or its equivalent, could result in extreme danger. Knight Rifles and Green Mountain Rifle Barrel Co. expressly disclaims any and all liability for the following: incidental or consequential damages due to the misuse or altering of these barrels and products; and mishandling (whether accidental or purposeful) of these barrels and products; exceeding the maximum load recommendations; or for rifles on which our products have been installed.

The higher end Knight rifles have been shooting 150 grains of powder for years.

I even shot 150 grains of Triple seven out of my Knight TK 2000 shotgun.

The following quote came out of a Knight/Omega advertisement:
<O:p
“By sighting in the center crosswire at 100 yards most Knight muzzleloading firearms topped with the Omega scope shooting a 250 grain projectile and 150 grains of loose powder or pellets will shot well out to 250 yards using the proper scope sight circles.”
