Kroll Knight

[CD]

Well I ordered the Kroll Knight almost as soon as they arrived at PA. First thoughts and minor problems.....



1. generic manual for the older models only called PA mentioned to PA the guy that answered was not to interested 



2. Filled it with air fairly loud but seems to have lots of power 



3. Really high scope mount it appears as it shot well below my target at 30 yards and even maxing out the Reticle couldn't get it on the target. I decided to put a low mount in front which got me on paper so can chrony it after I get back from work tomorrow if it does not rain

Right on!
I grabbed a Kral Arms Puncher Nemesis [Before they re-named them to the Night] with the .22 and the .25 caliber bbl setups.. 

The very first thing that I found out about these rifles is - They come from the factory tuned shooting HOT! Or at least mine did. 
I always shoot Crosman Premier .22 cal 14.3 grain Hollow Points through my rifles to get a starting point - and to lead the bbl in..
Nope. The Nemesis/Night wasn't having that. haha I had to lower the power-adjust-wheel all the way down for less FPS. 
Then I tried JSB 18 grains and then H&N 21 grains and it shot much Much better!
With light ammo, mine shot high and to the right. With heavier ammo, the groups returned towards center and tightened up..
Granted I only shot a few mags of each pellet type/weight in .22 and only shot indoors at 10 meters, it shot Great! 
I agree about the rail to stock / cheek riser ratio.. Scopes sit high on these.. 
I had to go with some Med. rings that I had kicking around, and they were still too tall. So the cheek piece had to be max'd out. 

**Important**

You mentioned that you max'd out your reticle, so I'm assuming you ran out of elevation clicks also.. Same deal here. 
Using a Discovery VT-T 6-24x50 scope. Thanks to Hajimoto, this issue has been fixed. [Same w/ several of my rifles]
It is due to them not adding any angle to the rails, so shooting close or far can be an issue..

FX No-Limit adjustable rings were used in my case, and now everything works flawlessly!
X-hairs are dead on, and plenty of adjustment either way now..

Any adjustable mount will work. Shimming the rear will work, or like you said - dropping the front.

Just be very careful not to put too much pressure on your scope's tube - You wouldn't want to end up denting/kinking it.

Best of luck, and definitely keep us posted on your thoughts and progress with this one!
