Default Will the Lehigh conversion fit in......

My Knight Master Hunter Cryogenic (MHC). On there web site it said that they may not fit in this gun. Just checking to see if this is a luck of the draw or if they have been modified to fit in these guns? Thanks for any input!!

The Lehigh conversion will fit and work well in about 90% of the Knight DISC rifles out there. The only reason they may not work would be because of the tolerance varibles in some Knight rifles.

It certainly works very well in the MHC of mine..



If I were you I would get one very soon as Lehigh may not be able to sale them much longer.

Thanks Sabot I will order 1 now!! I appreciate the help. I guess if it doesn't fit I can always sell it in the classifieds.

Got it ordered Sabot. Man those bullets look great on their web site but they are pricey as well! Have you hunted with them? How do they perform?

Man you are asking the wrong person! I can not tell you anything bad about them.

I shoot the 40cal - 200 grain DOA in my 45's... This is the harvest for this year....



Last year I was using the Lehigh .458/275 grain in a 50 cal knight and stumbled on this one....



Here he is just hanging out!



They are pricey, but really leass than Barnes and even Nosler's the price you see includes shipping to your door if I remember right....

This is how they come to your house...



The other bullet that I use is a new one that Lehigh just built. It is a .458/300 grain DOA - excellent for elk...

So, is Knight putting the squeeze on Lehigh not to sell the conversions any more????
If so, that is too typical of business these days. Big company with all the high priced experts can't figure out what a small, independent shop can. Big company gives work to the small shop and thus cuts out the competition. The consumer gets boinked again. I am reading between the lines, but that is my take on it.

No there is a little more to it than that, in fact I thought it might come to light with the new Knight web site but it has not yet.

It is not all bad by any means...

I agree but it looks like I may have to invest in a box or two of them.
