Well, here it is folks!!!
 
My new Knight Disc Extreme.

Leupold 4.5 - 14 x 40 (30mm main tube)
QD Warne High rings
Weaver steel bases

All cleaned up, 2lb trigger, ready to go. Just have to freefloat barrel.

Now, if the 6 ft of snow around here would melt, I'd get out and tune it up for spring bear.

Sometimes I get a little carried away.

Godd looking rig. This is just my opinion but I think you have the scope too high off the barrel. Even if you have to remove part or all of the rear sight, you need to get that scope lower. If you do not lower it you will definitely need a cheek piece on the rifle. Tom.

Well, thanks for the standing ovations on the Knight. Now comes the real learning curve though. I need to develop a load, and I've already got plenty of you guys' ideas printed out.

I bought some Barnes, Hornady and TC stuff, but am hoping the 290 Barnes pan out.

Anybody shot .44 cal pistol ammo much with a sabot shroud in a .50? I'm thinking of trying that, because I've got a .44 and an absolute ton of bullets for it, more than I plan to use in the pistol anyway. I got a new titanium .41 two years ago for griz interdiction while bow hunting, so the .44 went into the safe.

RE: Well, here it is folks!!!
 
Many times, the .44 caliber bullets will shoot well in a .429-.430 diameter sabot. All you can do is try them. After all I shoot a .430 300 grain XTP in a crushed rib sabot in mine. The XTP will shoot well in handguns also. I used to shoot a Hollow Point in my Red Hawk .44 caliber but they put too big a hole in the deer so I went to a solid tip flat point.

I have shot many .44cal bullets in my .50cal .430 Hornady - .429 Speer - .429.5 Sierra all 300gr and they shot very well I use the Harvester Green Crush Rib sabots with these bullets .

Another one you can try is the .452 300gr Speer Gold Dot in the 454 Casual it is a bonded bullet and dose a super job with 110gr of 777 .

Again Congrats on the KNIGHT

Congrats on your new Knight, It looks great! Try 110 grains of 777 and a 300 grain Nosler PP in a HPH 12, or 24 sabot. That load sould be bad news on those bears...;)

Beautiful gun, hope it shoots a well as it looks. Never have seen too many bi-pods on MLer, but it looks good on yours. Best wishes dialing it in. Chap Gleason

Looks very nice. I bought the same gun about a month ago. I ended up switching to the medium QR rings with my 9X40 Nikon Prostaff. The bell on my scope is just behind the sights so I can just barely get the cover on.
I only shot mine once so far. It went pretty well although I had a hard time holding it steady in the cold. I used 105 grains of 2f 777 and shot some 260 grain knight bullets. I am confident the gun will shoot better than me.

Very nice looking muzzy.

Looks like the same model I just got for $240. I did put a 3-9x40 on it instead of the 2-7x32 that's on my Revo II. Do most of my killing at/after sundown. Did notice that with the bigger/longer scope that there isn't clearance for my flip open scope caps. Might remove the slider part of the rear sight if I want to put caps on this scope.

I like the fluted barrel very much rather than without. Rifle seems about a pound lighter compaired to the Revo II.

How do you like the REV. 2 Thinking about getting me one ?

Mine worked fine this season-3 deer taken. The laminate stock version is kind of heavy. But heavy guns don't kick. Shoots great. I just picked up an Extreme model new for $240. I like the handling of it better than the Revo II. Think the Extreme mounts better.

rdpettit,

I used Warne, high QD rings (they are only 3/16" higher than standards), and slid the rear site down the ramp as far as it would go and the cap fit fine.

I wish they still made the disc elite.

I don't own one, but that looks like what I would have in mind if I decided to get one, very nice!
