Please explain how the 52 caliber has any advantage over a 50 caliber if you are using sabots?? The sabots have pretty well taken over unless you shoot round balls. There really is not alot of conical shooters out there.

So what bullet are you going to use in a 52 caliber sabot that I can not use in a 50 caliber sabot?? I do not know of any.

I think the 52 caliber is part of what brought them down. It was just another gimmick. They need to go back to building quality rifles like the MK-85 and do a better marketing job. I have never heard a single person complain about their MK-85 in any area except that it takes 2 or 3 minutes more to clean it over an Encore?? They definitely have a superior trigger over the factory Encore, and out shoot every Encore I have ever compared it to(dozens). And the Knight will shoot anything you want to put in it(accurately). Ask Cayugad about his Knight. He says the same thing. It will shoot what ever you shove down the barrel.

TC won for two reasons. Number one is the marketing dollars they spent(and that is the real reason). And secondly they convinced shooters that it was so much easier to clean. And that really boils down to 2 or 3 minutes. WHOOPPEEY. Tom.
