45 Knight Disc
 

This post is only for information purposes. My cousin bought a Knight Disc 45 caliber when they first came out. He has just now gotten around to shooting this gun. I guess he has had it 4 years or so and never took it out of the box. To make a long story short. We tried sighting in the rifle and it was impossible. You could have grouped better with a 12 gauge using buckshot. We tried 777, BM3, & pyrodex loose & pellets. Everything shot about the same around 6-8" at 50 yards. We then changed scopes. Nothing changed. I called Knight's customer service. I gave them the serial # and they had an immediate answer. They said some of the first 45's didn't have the barrel floated properly. So they said to float the barrel and bed I guess for lack of a better term what they call a recoil lug. Doing this shrank groups immediately. There suggestion was also a red hot bullet and use loose 777. Groups with the red hot and 130 gr. equivalent of 777 produced 1-7/8" 3 shot groups at 100 yards.

Many bedding jobs done on rifles (when done correctly) will greatly improve the accuracy of the rifle. My T/C Black Diamond XR is a free floating barrel. It is one of the most accuracte rifles I shoot. My new Knight Disc rifle is custom fit to the stock. When you tighten the lug to lock the barrel in place, you can feel the stock surround the barrel. It might not be floated, but it sure is bedded.

Knight told me the same thing when I asked them about projectiles, and that was to shoot the Knight Red Hot sabot combination. They are made by Barnes Bullet company, so I shoot the Barnes Expander which is a little less costly (not much mind you). I also shoot the XTP which do real well in the rifles for the most part.

I'm glad to hear that the rifle shoots well. Another person I was talking to with Knight .45 caliber was telling me how accurate the 460 grain No Excuse Conical bullets are out of his rifle. He said he shoots them with 90 grains of powder and the down range accuracy is exceptional. That is a long heavy chunk of lead to be throwing around but anything it hits is going to know it....

Good luck with your rifle.
