NMLRA In-Line match results

[rssc451]

Knight Rifles dominated the rifle manufactures appearing in the 2015 NMLRA In-Line Hunters match.
The rifles placed 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the Hunter class. Top scores with Knight Disc rifles stayed in the top along with the Custom's.

Looks just like the old day when they ruled.

You mean before Doc White's team broke all previous records with that "sub caliber" Varminter rifle. I sure hope that if the Manufacturer's Match ever returns, there is a 40cal minimum caliber or at least a different class for sub 40cal MLs.

Doc did do a number on it all.

At the 1st NMLRA In-line match 2 years ago, the Crane Bros (shot on White's Mfg team) shot White 38 cals. They did well at 50 & 100, but 200+ they did not match to the 45's.

Problem there is none of those are true Knights. They are all heavily modified barrels and actions.

Squeeze:
Just to clarify: rifles noted as 'custom' in the description have been customized. All others are factory.

The 'custom' rifles were all in the Unlimited class.
All Hunter class rifles were factory.
You can scroll down on the photo to see the Hunter class.

All Hunter class rifles were factory.

Interesting, Mark Miller shot a Knight Mountaineer 45cal with a Parker 275gr BE and BH209. That would be a sabotless .451 bullet shot from a 1-30 twist barrel if its factory. I never had much luck shooting that heavy of a sabotless jacketed bullet in a 1-30 twist Knight.

Score 156-5X

I would consider a Ultimate Firearms ML a custom. Its a Rem 40X action, Lothar Walther barrel and more than likely the higher end McMillian light weight stock was used by Jim Stewart. It appears even Ultimate considers all of them customs.

Please place your order well in advance of when you need it. We do not stock pre-made muzzleloaders. Each is custom made to order and requires Ken's individual time & attention. Thank you!

Mark was shooting a factory Mountaineer 1:30. He did well.
I believe the top 3 were Knights Disc factory guns (top Disc in Unlimited & top 2 Disc in Hunter) were all older 45 Super Disc.
