Default Knight Disc with a Nikon Pro Staff

Ilooked over the rack today and decided I had not shot my Knight Disc rifle in a while. In fact I could not remember the last time I shot it. So I took it to the bench which was at the 100 yard line and started to prepare the rifle for a good shooting session. It was then I remembered, I had not shot the rifle since I changed out the scope to the new Nikon Pro Staff in 2-7x32mm. I was about to move the whole works up to the 50 yard line, but figured, I had bore sighted it in the house in the usual manner so we would see how close I was to the bulls eye.



The first two shots hit far right, so I made some clicks and swabbed the bore clean. I then fired a five shot group to make sure the scope POI had moved and it liked the load. I was swabbing between each of those shots to make sure the rifle and I were honest. I was very happy with that group.

I then made one last adjustment and shot two more for effect. That bulls eye by the way is 3/4 of an inch in diameter. I could see it plain as day on 7x with the Nikon. It was more of a matter of me holding still. So I knew the scope was on. And on the same shooting stand was a target that had caused me grief a few days back.

If you remember I had posted about shooting 100 yards at the bottom of a coffee can taped to a box and how I sprayed all over the target. Well the spray was marked in blue ink. I then let the Knight do the talking...



I had cut the load back to 90 grains to see if it made any difference in the accuray. That coffee can bottom was having a bad day when it faced the Knight. Amazing what a little optics can do to make you feel good about a target....
