Went out Saturday with my mind made up.Enough lollygaging time to pull the trigger;)One of my local shops has a nice selection,they are a TC dealer.I was just about ready to say "I'll take it"on a plain jane TC Omega.The price was right and I have heard they are the cats behind.The the gent behind the counter says "we have a couple of used ones want to take a look".He holds up a beautful Knight disc,nice wood with scope rings to boot.Same price as the T.C. So my question to the more informed is this a wise choice.The condition is as new.He said the seller thought it was a PIA to clean."You have to pull the bolt"Big deal I said I had a T.C. Thunder Hawk before,that was a pain to clean.I understand there are some issues about the breech plug designs but I believe they all can be a little rough to pull IF YOU DON'T NEVERSEIZE IT UP.Anyone with a Night Disc care to pass as many pointers my way would be great.I can't wait to try this guy out.

================================================== ====
The Knight Disc E lite and the original Knight Disc have been discontinued. Both were on sale at a couple different vendors for $209 near year's end.
I recommend staying with the Omega (I own) or waiting until September for Knight Inc. to resolve a few issues with it's Omega copy/model named Knight Revolution.
If you want a real good ML bolt action, buy the Savage ML-10

I shoot one of those Remington 700 ML's. Seems to be a good rifle, shoots my cast conicals into 1.5 at a hundred. 150 grains of triple seven and a 415 grain Lee improved minnie and a musket cap. I've not chrono'd this load but will this spring when the weather lets up.
I heard they are discontinuing production of this rifle and it's showing up at dealers at around the $200 range. Lot of rifle for the money.
