Muzzleloading Rifles

In 1985 Knight Rifles pioneered the modern inline muzzleloader. Today, Knight Rifles is proud to continue in the tradition of improving muzzleloading rifles while still maintaining the historical integrity of black powder rifles.

We at Knight Rifles understand the importance of tradition to muzzleloading. But we also understand the needs of the modern muzzleloader hunter. Our black powder rifles, while rooted in the sport's rich tradition, feature innovations that make our muzzleloaders easier to clean and care for, safer, more accurate and more reliable.

Such improvements include our one-piece removable nipple and breech plug so you can more easily clean your muzzleloader's entire barrel to prevent corrosion. A second safety in the inline striker on Knight's bolt and pull-back hammer muzzleloaders makes your muzzleloader rifle safer to use. A selection of interchangeable rifle stocks in patterns from laminated wood to the latest camouflage mean that you don't have to get a whole new gun when you want a change.

The Green Mountain muzzleloading rifle barrels that come with your muzzleloader rifle are the best-quality, most accurate barrels on the market. Fiber optic sights and factory drilling and tapping for easy rifle scope installation on each Knight muzzleloader rifle make you even more accurate.

Knight Shadow

Knight Rifles knows how to make a great muzzleloader, since they pioneered the modern inline muzzleloader. The Knight Shadow muzzleloader is one of the easiest muzzleloaders on the market to shoot, load and maintain. The break-open action, removable breech plug, detachable super-accurate blued or stainless steel Green Mountain barrel and the fact that it uses easy-to-find 209 primers makes it incredibly easy to load and clean its corrosion-resistant stainless steel internal parts.

Rolling Block

It doesn't get much more intuitive, simple and easy-to-use than the rolling block action. Incredibly strong, it's obvious why the design's first incarnation was so popular. The only real problem was that the metal used can't stand up to today's high-powered ammunition. Enter Knight Rifles. Knight pioneered the modern inline muzzleloader by improving an already good idea. Similarly, we took the excellent rolling block action and went to town. This muzzleloader rifle comes with stainless steel or blued Green Mountain Barrel Company barrels and Walnut Checkered, Next G-1 or Black Composite stocks with Recoil Pads and Sling Swivel Studs. And it's guaranteed for shot accuracy at 100 yards.

Long Range Hunter

Get long-range accuracy, guaranteed to 200 yards, with incredible comfort, from the Long Range Hunter Muzzleloader. These .50 and 52. caliber muzzleloader rifles can offer this incredible long-range accuracy and long-term comfort due to their 27" stainless steel, 1:28 twist rate, spiral custom-fluted barrel and special lug system. This makes it more accurate than most black powder rifles because environmental conditions, wear-and-tear to the stock and pressure are not able to shift the barrel out of alignment, a standard feature in match-grade rifles.
