You know sometimes I really wonder about ME!!! Last week I purchased another Knight and all things - it is a 52 Cal, which I said all along I did not need and as I did not want the bullet - sabot limitations that go along with it...
But it is here and it is a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation gun that was won by a non-ml hunter in Montana... it has never been shot!!! But that is not the reason I am using to justify all of this... It has a 1/26 twist rate - I really wanted that for the longer Lehigh bullets that I am using and I could even go back to a Nosler if needed and it would shoot them better.
Bullet variety.... I am justifying that by saying this is an Elk gun and I only use .458's for Elk anyway so that is right up this guns alley...
It came with a 3x9x40 Tasco Scope which will be gone tomorrow and a new Bushnell Elite 3200 DOA will be sitting on top. Also the stock will be swapped out for a thumbhole - newly done 'Snow Camo' stock.
I will switch out the Red Plastic breech plug to a Lehigh breech plug tomorrow when I clean it and treat it with Montana Xtreme BC....
Then Saturday morning - off to the farm or the rock pit... and make some noise-smoke-holes in paper and break a few clay birds and bust some Basalt rocks...
Now if the gun shoots... and what Knight DISC doesn't shoot, it will be a great Elk gun.

Those "something different" projects are just plain fun. Evidently you've located some sabots?
happy that it was you who bought another rifle and not me. You are doing so well in the collection department. I agree, I have used Tasco Scopes on Center Fire rifles for years. Although they are older then mud. Maybe thirty years ago they were made better. The ones I have have held true to countless rounds through them, been dropped, and you name it. Good glass, and tough as nails.
