Knight KP-1 45-70, scope, ammo, zero'd and ready to go

Lost our farm we had been hunting in SE Ohio for past 10 years. The farmer is retiring, sold the farm and moving to Texas. So we will not be coming back to hunt and no need for the rifle now.

I have a Knight KP-1 in 45-70 with 24 inch barrel. It is a single shot with interchangable barrels. The 45-70 is very difficult to find. Nikon Prostaff 3-9x with LR hunter reticle and zero'd out to 300 yards and shot that far to check. I have killed deer out to 270 yards very easily. Very easy to handle and recoil is more than manageble with Kick-"Eze recoil pad. My loads are not on the super hot side, but up there and managable to easily shoot and accurate.

I have Hornady Custom 45-70 dies, 100 pieces of brass in two MTM boxes (most fired 1x if that), 30 rounds loaded with Hornady 325 "FTX at 2140 fps. Load shoots into 1-1 1/4 consistently. That gives you 3-4" groups at 300 yards and confirmed by shooting at 300. Will send load data with the gun.

$640 shipped and insured to your FFL that will take from an individual, otherwise you pay the transfer fee. Ammo and dies shipped separately.

Shipped from Wilmington NC. hermanharke@aol.com

Sorry to hear that. Knight makes some quality guns. I have 2 of their muzzleloaders.

How’d you make out with Flo?
 
We were without power for 9 days, gas was real pain to get for generators but I had plenty. Lot of people really took a loss on homes and still rivers are rising here so flooding is not over. All I lost was a few big limbs on trees.

thanks,

Good for you man. I was talking with a buddy the other day that just got back. He said the amount of water was unreal. Also talked about how the river was rising again when he left on Sunday.

Good to hear. Got a buddy who’s got a Cub Cadet dealer ship outside of Wilmington, house made it out okay. Dealership he hasn’t seen yet as they’re not allowed in the area. But the bank that’s close by was under water....
