Knight Vision

The Knight Vision I ordered came yesterday looks like a really nice gun.
Now if the bullets would come that I ordered would come so I could take it out and play with it. Ordered 4 boxes of Gold Dots 2-250 gr. & 2-300 gr. They were out of the 250 gr. bullets so it might be a while.

I think the vision might make an excellent ML... first thing to check is if will shoot your primers. Try to pop a few primers before you head to the range. From there if they work for you - you will have an excellent gun.

If you are going to scope it, you might need either a long eye relief scope or extended rings to get the scope far enough back.

The GM barrel is outstanding..

Just talked to knight... The tech said the gun should go out Friday and at the latest Monday... They were really friendly and were very happy to do what ever to make it right.... and now i am sure it will be...

No problem so far with the primers only shot it 8 or 10 times.I'm really low on bullets. It shot the Black Horn 209 good also no hang fires or mis fires.I need to get a scope on it my shooting was terrible at 50 yards I was lucky to hit thetarget at all my eyes are really bad shooting open sights.

I really enjoy my Knight Vision. It does require an Omega scope in my opinion. I think the long eye relief is needed. Or you could cut the stock i guess.

Sabotloader,

Just curious - did you have trouble igniting primers with the vision?

Sabotloader, isn't true the only issue with primers not going off his on a few all camo sportsman guide version of the Vision? I dont think this has been a problem at all with the Visions that are marked visions on the barrel? Please correct me if i'm wrong. That's how i took it from Gordy.

At this point I believe what you are saying is correct.... the other thing I would say it is a very simple problem to correct - i just chose to have Knight correct it since it was not my gun and it was under warranty.

There are about 3 ways i can think to fix the problem - I was wondering how Knight might do it - so I sent it in then I could check myself their preferred method...

I also should have added, it appears to be a low percentage of guns that suffer from this problem, according to the Knight tech service department...

Sabotloader,

Well, wouldn't you know it that I recently took delivery of a, you guessed it, camo Knight Vision, from, you guessed it, Sportsman's Guide. I have not been able to get to the range yet, and was wondering if you had any indication you had a problem gun before snapping a live primer.
I would consider just returning the rifle but as you might imagine would rather return it completely unfired.

Thanks for any advice,
