You are killing me bro :D

Shoot me a price in PM and let me think about it. I need another 50cal like i need a hole in my head.

I really think Knight made the right choice not bringing out the 1/24 twist 50cal. a 1/26.. 50 and 52cal will be fine.

Now when we talk about 45's, i'm thinking 1/20 and 1/24. We need to make a better longer high B.C. bullet for the guy's who think they need it.:p

Now you are talking. If Knight comes out with a gun like this I will part with some of my money. Until then, I will keep shooting my .45 DISC Elite.

OK Sabot, I guess there is a difference between my old Knight and the newer models.
I have one of the originals where you have to pull back on the 'bolt' and unscrew the rear knob. So I guess there was some misunderstanding here. And Knight did change the design somewhat. Heck, my old Knight doesn't even have a model number on it.

+1

I consider the secondary safety to be intended for loading, unloading, priming, take down and cleaning.

Oh ya... I forgot about those and infact I was shooting one ths morning...

Your old Knight might be worth some money if it is that old and um-marked...

On the 45cal its not so much the added BC, its the added SD. If you could shoot Hornady 300gr .411 405Winchester bullets out of a 45cal, you would have a nasty mo fo. Just look at Docs 45 PowerStar sabots/bullet. Even at only 1600fps MV, they slam like a freight train at 250 yards with over 1000fpe left. A 1-24 i think would give both sabot shooters and sabotless a ton of options. It shouldn't be too fast for 180gr XTP fun loads. Anything faster than a 1-22 those start to suffer and a 45cal is my favorite fun gun too.

Same reason i ONLY want a White in 451 or 410. Its the massive SD potential.

Speed kills my friend. It's no problem for me to shoot a 200grn bullet 2550 fps. I will take that all day long on just about any animal at 150yds or under.

Gm54-120 08-22-2011 06:38 PM

And a 1-24 will shoot a 200gr at over 2500fps all day long with 4198 or N120. ;)

Its all about the options. The more that are left open the more flexible the caliber. Sabotless though shooting upto a 275gr would be my goal with BH209. Ive seen some pretty impressive speeds with sabotless BH209 with 250-325gr bullets. Busta was clocking about 2300fps and a 250gr SST IIRC and the Parkers are a gimme.
