The DISC is a very good rifle.... If you can find a Sportsman with one in stock you can still get last years prices... There is one in Lewiston, ID - I looked at ti the other day...Knight has not set next years prices yet and Sportsman has not requested a quote for 2016 riles. The more they buy the more the price comes down...Think the Sportsman in Spokane has one also...

No I was thinking you could call them and work a deal sot that they can pack it up and send it to you or your local SportsmansQuote I better get off my butt and check out the local Sportsmans stores near me on the WET side of the mountains before they run out. Plus I want to have lots of time to play with the new toy before hunting season rolls around. I handload rifle and pistol cartridges and am looking forward to load development with a smoke pole.You should really know ML shooting and hunting is a rea disease and it grows on you in a hurry!

Congrats on the purchase of the Knight. For old eyes check out a Williams rear peep sight if that forward sight becomes hard to align with the end bead. Made a difference for me acquiring a target and hitting that target with confidence.

Made a difference for me acquiring a target and hitting that target with confidence.I've heard good things about that sight. I'm gonna try some 100 yard shots and see how my eyes do, but I'll probably end up going that route. I've been spoiled with a lifetime of hunting with a scoped rifle, so the peep is probably as close to that as I can get and still be legal here in WA.
Sabotloader, great recommendation. I am going to have to do this too.
Wow! Good info Sabotloader, thanks for sharing! I've been wanting to install peep sights on mine for awhile now...
Thanks for all the tips. I called around yesterday and found a Knight Disc Extreme at the Sportsmans Warehouse in Puyallup for $499. Woo Hoo! It already had its first brush with wet weather because it was strapped to the back of my motorcycle for the ride home and the clouds were threatening. But the "Seattle Sunshine" held off until after I made it home. Some thoughts on the gun:This sucker is Heavy compared to my normal '06 hunting rifle! I'll definitely want to get a sling to haul it around (and of course to increase accuracy when shooting).The thumbhole stock will take some retraining. Just playing with the gun in the store, I found myself wanting to grab the stock with my thumb over the top and this doesn't work very well. I'll have plenty of time to practice before that quick shot on that trophy buck this fall. I'm excited about shooting it, but first I need to gather supplies........
Make sure you clean the rifle the day that you fire it, or as soon as possible! Even though it is a SS barrel it will still corrode and pit inside the barrel if left uncleaned! First hand experience with that one
