    TC (S&W) Customer Service in 2022

    I contacted TC by email from their website asking to purchase some T8 torx screws, the ones that connect the recoil lugs to the barrel. They quickly got back to me telling me my order number and that it was on it's way. Two days later I received a package. They sent the wrong screws, instead...

    New Scope, Bushnell Prime 1-4x32

    My little Simmons ProDiamond finally gave up the ghost. I was having some accuracy problems and I tightened up all the usual suspects on my X7 (torx lug screws, etc), but noticed a faint rattling inside the scope. For a 4x32 with essentially no moving parts, not good. I would have just bought...

    Someone please . . .

    . . . make a BP sub that can compete with BH209. I was just at my local Cabelas, they were asking 49.99 for the 10oz. bottle. I thought it must have been an error, Cabelas/BPS should have decent deals as volume sellers. But I confirmed online. $50 a bottle is just too friggin much and I'm...

    %&$#! torx screws on Omega.

    Made a bad shot the other day inside of 50 yards. Was aiming for a high shoulder shot so the doe would not run because I was near a property line. Knocked the doe down but she got up and ran off. No blood other than a spot at point of impact. Tried to track her for about four hours which...

    Best product and method for lead removal?

    I think I have some pretty heavy build up of lead in one of my rifles. Curious what most use to deal with lead build up. I usually just use Hoppe's No. 9 to clean or Eezox to clean/protect but think I might need something more specific for the lead. I used almost a whole packet of some old...

    Stuck primers with disc extreme

    Lately my primers have been getting stuck on the bolt face, requiring me to close the bolt, shoot again, and then the primer comes out easy. I am shooting an older model Disc Extreme using a pretty new Lehigh breech plug with removable vent liner (picked one up on Dave's last run before he...

    Knight Freedom Series?

    I thought all Knights were 100% U.S. made? Can someone tell me the difference between the Disc Extreme ($589.99) and the Disc Extreme "Freedom Series" ($479.99)? Let's say with the standard polymer stock. The obvious differences is in the weight with the regular Extreme being 7 lbs 6 oz and...

    This should be interesting

    There is a Rose laminate Omega X7 for auction on GunBroker, starting bid of $1, at http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =392427216 The only other one I have ever seen was owned by HunterB4 on this site. I remember he once asked for opinions on what he could get for it. There were a lot...

    VA ML finally gets good.

    Decent ML season with my new to me Disc Extreme It started kind of tough. ML season started 2 Nov and for the first week hunting both private and public land, I was having a hard enough time even proving the existence of deer. Actually, that’s not quite true since on the private land (a...

    How long does a Lehigh ventliner last?

    I have a new (to me) Disc Extreme that I converted with the Lehigh Plug with removeable ventliner. I use the ventliners from Lehigh which are "produced from a MIL-spec steel alloy and are vacuum heat treated to a proprietary multi-step process to extend life." Curious about how long (how...

    Anyone tried Beartooth Bullets?

    Found these .44 cal, 325g hard cast bullets, 50 for $15.25. Not sure what the shipping is but this sounds like a pretty good deal. Especially since my regular Speers are often so hard to find. http://beartoothbullets.com/bulletselect/index.htm They sound very similar to Harvester Hard...

    Need help deciding on a scope

    I finally got some cash together to get a new scope for my Disc Extreme. I’m currently using a 2-7X Vortex Viper that I borrowed from my .308 Sako. Whether the Knight keeps the Viper or goes back on the Sako and I get something new for the Extreme, I need a new scope and my choice will...

    Working up a load for my Disc Extreme

    Finally have some range pics I’m not embarrassed to post. Had the morning off so I got out to the range to see if I could zero my scope and work on some powder loads on my new to me Disc Extreme. Goal was to see what amount of powder my gun likes shooting a .44cal/240gr bullet. I am using up...

    What range to use when developing a load?

    Well I finally got my Disc Extreme to the range. Open sights, shooting some 240 XTPs with BH209. Main goal was to see how it shoots with the primers I have. The guy that sold it to me included all the bullets/sabots he had and a full case of CCI 209M primers. I know that the Winchesters are...

    Disc Extreme question re model differences

    Yesterday I received my Disc Extreme (used, excellent condition) in the mail and am trying to get familiar with it. The manual that was included is only helpful to a point since it only discusses the original DISC and not the extreme. Downloaded an updated manual from a link found at the...

    TC Hawken with a BAD barrel

    My new hunting buddy (this past season) asked me to store his TC Hawken in the off season after our last hunt. No problem, I have the space in my safe. Before putting it away, I had a suspicion that he was not the best at maintenance so I ran a patch down soaked with Cabelas Black Powder...

    Please tell me I did right.

    Expecting a Disc Extreme in the mail within a week or so and wanted to get moving on a set of scope rings/bases. I'm partial to the Weaver system but came across a deal on the Durasight webpage. http://www.durasight.com/Store-View.php?id=557 With shipping came to 14.95. I don't know if they...

    What do you guys think of this bore??

    It's a Knight Disc Extreme, GM stainless barrel from about 2004-5. Laminate stock. Guy claims only about 10-20 shots with Pyrodex. He seems to be pretty upfront and has sent me a lot of pics. The issue is with the area just forward of the breech. Take a look: The rest of the...
