Knight Disc Extreme
 
There's a chance I may end up with one of these in SS/T-hole. Just wondering what everyone thought of them? How do they shoot? How are they to clean? etc. Thanks for your help.

They are a great rifle. I sometimes wish I had not sold mine. Easy to clean, very accurate, and well made. And Knight has a great customer service.

I can't belive you sold a gun

Actually I traded it for a different rifle that I wanted more.

I love the one I have, there is a chance I have the rifle cayugad had.

first day on the range with it. I placed 2 shots side by side at 100yrds.

I have one and it is a super good shooter - in fact it shoots better than I can shoot...

That's very possible as I traded it to Lungbuster who then offered one as a prize. Mine had that fancy special stainless barrel and it would stack shockwaves all day long into a tiny hole. Kind of a boring rifle. So I traded it for a White M97 .451.

Well, that all sounds very promising. Like I said, I've just been looking at this one, but I might have to pursue it a little more. I was mostly concerned that the bolt action/breech arealooked like it could be very difficult to disassemble and clean. Also, I remember not too long ago, there was a thread on here about issues with the way the Omega t-hole stocks were bedded and the stock not being sturdy enough or something like that. Does anyone know if Knight t-hole stocks are the same way. I know it shoulders real nice and feels pretty solid, but that doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot.

If it is a newer one pull a pin on the side and the bolt falls out, gotta pull the same oin to get the BP out also. Turn the thumb safty all the way in - turn the bolt asseembly out to clean the internals...

Completely different stock company and I have both the regular composit and T-Hole composit- they are a heavy composit, sturdy and well made... not a problem here anyway. My Omega composits are lighter an more flexible, but really both are easy fixes...

I understand why you traded it now

I have never inspected the Knight disc Rifle. But if it's anything like my Mk85 its very well made. My Mk has the Timney adjustable trigger which was standard at the time. It is superior to my Remington 700 classic trigger. Does anyone know why Knight is moving away from the disc platform?

I'm guessing most people would rather buy something else and not have to mess around with the discs. Just my guess.

You do not need to use the disc if you do not want to. There is a conversion a NFPJ - which just uses the bare 209 primer... I actually kinda like the FPJ system....

The discs make the rifle completely waterproof. Knight makes a conversion kit, but most believe the kit is a downgrade and not as good as the discs. I have both a Thompson Center and a Knight Disc extreme. If I want reliabiity and accuracy I use the Knight. If I want something quick and still accurate I take the T/C.

In all fairness to my T/C, I'm sure eventually I will get it dialed in like my Disc Extreme is, but it's taking more time than I anticipated to find the perfect load. My Knight was dialed in right out of the gate with 110gr triple 7 and a 250 grain red hot. The T/C is a bit more selective.

I'm not a huge fan of the newer Knights and prefer the older Disc Extreme.

Just my opinion..
