Knight Disc - T-7 range report

wabi · 09-02-2007, 01:57 PM

Took the Knight out again today & raised the charge to 100 grains T-7 ffg.
Groups shrunk from 1 1/4" (with an 80 grain charge) to just under 1" (@ 50 yds).
I used all my 250 grT/C shockwaves up, thentried a couple 300 gr Hornady XTPs I had in the box. Only had 2 with me, but it printed them very close to the 250 gr bullets, and the two were less than 1/2" apart.
Came home and ordered 240 gr XTPs & 300 gr XTPs to try.
Looks like this rifle has potential!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like you have a real good shooter on your hands... My Disc is a good shooter, and because of the stock, recoil is next to nothing compared to some of the tradtional rifles I shoot...

I did notice the recoil was very mild with this rifle.
I like the fit of the synthetic stock. For me the scope height is about perfect with the T/C Maxima rings and the factory bases. I have a feeling the fit & lack of recoil might be helping the groups a little, too.

I agree. I have Warne Maxima QD rings on mine as well, and I just seem to melt behind that scope. It is a very comfortable rifle to shoot, even with a stiff powder charge.
