 I had a tc renegade and it shot PRB and powerbelts great. As for removing the QLA on the TC inlines, that voids your warranty. TC should offer barrels that have a QLA and non QLA barrels. It would save people a lot of head aches.Every inline that ive shot, fired out conicals great.



TC's cant shoot concials, come with major blowby on the omegas, poor advertising on their "zero creep" triggers on the omegas and some other tc items. Black synthetic stocks are flexly and are known to crack in the lug area. 

 TC Encoe, i liked the style but when held to my shoulder, was 2" to short. And whats with these trigger guards on the TC brand? Do they not want to offer a hunter a trigger guard that allows the use of a glvoed trigger? and the tiny undersized hammers are asking for an accidental slip in wet weather.



 I have seen guys shooting concials in the Omega and Encore with the QLA removed and they shot well, What about the Renegade and Hawkins, the shoot concials.
Blow by on the Omega's, most muzzleloader's get some blow by, it is not just related to T/C Omega.
Stock cracking, I have owned Omegas and Encores, never had a cracked stock, and I have owned a lot of them.
I use gloves with my encore and have no problem using the trigger, how big are your fingers?
Tiny hammers causing a slip in wet weather? If your finger is not on the trigger when cocking the hammer there won't be an issue. The trigger has to be depressed to case it to fire.

For the price of a barrel, I personally would not worry about the warranty. But that is just me.

For T/C, it is "Quick Load Accurizer". Others have other names for it, but they are false muzzles built into the last 1/2" to 1" of the barrel.

Seems the industry has adopted T/C's terminology, and refers to all of them as QLA's. Some of these are not bored consentric with the bore, and can therefore reek havoc on accuracy, especially when shooting conicals.

ive had a knight, it shot well but i didnt like the expense of the disc's.  ill mostly be using the ml for target practice and whitetail deer hunting. id also like to compete in the Iowa games this year so the ml bmust be really accurate and shoot flat. at the games you have to shoot at 25, 50, and 100yds- 5 shots at each range. i cant afford the nula or the other high priced ml's. any suggestions? is the savage a high maintenance ml and is it too heavy when scoped? i know some of you guys will suggest the the white but id like a flat shooter for the Iowa games. i know there isnt a "perfect" ml and i know i will need to practice and work up a load. thanks....Tim
I have had a Knight DISC for two years and still have some of the original 100 DISC's I bought with it.I bought 100 for about seven US dollars.THAT'S EXPENSIVE!!I went through 10 times that money in PowerBelts.Get this,you can use them(DISC's)more than once ya know but the PowerBelts are hard to find.By chance you find one they are a bugger to get back down the barrel,all mushed up like that.
I just bought another Knight.Why? I have no FN idea.The one I was useing is a fine shooter and looks like a real rifle.Killed a buck opening day this year.My advise would be get that Knight back.Take some time and find her sweet spot.

Where did you find the White? They are getting hard to find from what I have seen.
