Knight 45 DISC extreme

[snapbang]

Just saw this in auction. Whats a good price for it.

Other pics included with it show no wear. I think its never been shot. Its super clean.

$400

 

[WV Hunter]

I'd agree, $400 especially if its never been fired.
Keep in mind, its a 1:30, not that its bad - just some folks always assume .45's are fast twist

 

[michiganmuzzy]

I agree with 400 maybe 450 if the scope is included and is good quality.

A 1/30 twist. What bullet weights will that shoot?

 

[bstorric]

From what I understand about bullet stability, bullet length is the limiting factor for twist rates. So a bullet that is full bore and relatively light should shoot just fine out of it. Plus look at what @Idaholewis has shown with a 1:48 twist Hawken/Renegade

A 1/30 twist. What bullet weights will that shoot?

I shoot up to 300gr saboted in my 45 disc 1:30".

 

[WV Hunter]

I shoot 195 & 200 out of my 1:30, .45
My elite shoots better than I can that is for sure, never tried a heavier bullet personally. Often folks use long bullets that don't stabilize as well without really pushing them

As bstorric suggested bullet Length is the key factor in stabilization from a 1-30 twist.

nice looking rifle

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Just looking at that rifle up close and it has a nice little Leupold on it.

 

[snapbang]

Thanks guys.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

So it wasnt just any old Disc Extreme. It was a possibly unfired .45 Master Hunter with a Leupold scope. Went for $725.

 

[Cary L Pipes]

I love mine.i tried to replace it with newer rifles but they all have failed to be more accurate.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

The Master Hunter was what's now called the Mountaineer i think.

 

[HC]

Nope, different breech plugs

 

[michiganmuzzy]

pretty close tho, with the jeweled stainless bolt and secondary safety. Why did they put a different breechplug in the mountaineer? Heavier loads?

 

[HC]

The bolt looks like a mountaineer,
The barrel fluting looks like a mountaineer, and master hunter disc extreme,
It may be a parts gun, or may be a mountaineer wrongly advertised?

 

[sabotloader]

Pretty sure it is a DE - the bolt is the older Knight bolt body that would come with the MH.

And the barrel is to short to be a Mntneer.

Another thing the barrels on the new Mntneer series rifles are bored to tighter specs than the older barrel contract.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

It had MHSDE 0353 stamped right where the serial number would be. Also said Disc Extreme at the normal location
