There is no difference in quality of barreled action materials or manufacturing methods from the Littlehorn to the Mountaineer.
I would have to add the littlehorns in here also. The max for them is 120

They sure do want to push those 375 grain red hots hard though don't they? Them things would still have a lot of energy down range.
The new Knight owners are huge 52 fans.

Have you tried the new 220grn bullets for the 52cal yet? They are .458cal and go in the Knight Grey sabot to shoot in the 52. I shot a lot of Deer with them last year and they worked great. I think i used 120grns of Bh209???? Maybe 130grns by volume.

110grns by volume is plenty with that bullet out to 225 yards at least.

The 220g Bloodline can be shot in 50 cals also - I have shot a bunch from my Knight MHC and they certainly do shoot well. I was using a MMP Orange .457-.458/50 cal sabot.
