Title: Is the Knight Disc Extreme Legal in the State of WA?
Post by: kevinmeister on March 27, 2012, 03:21:31 PM: I am new to inline muzzle loaders and looking to buy a rifle for this season as my hunting party has decided to all go black powder. I thought I had narrowed it down to TC Northwest Explorer or the Knight Bighorn, but then I saw quite a bit of chatter about the Knight Disc Extreme. Is the Disc Extreme (with the #11 nipple) legal in the state of WA? It appears that the cap is exposed to the elements. Any information that would help me make a good decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kevin

I'm sure the disc is a nice gun, I've heard alot of good things about it. Knight makes a really solid ml from what iv seen, plus made in USA. For cal I would go 50, the reason being bullet availability and selection.

Personally, the 50 is a much more versitile gun because of sabot and bullet combinations available... with that said I still prefer the 52 for elk and loading down with a 275 grain bullet is great for our Whitetail - not needed for Whitetail - but I really like using it.
