The Black and SS version for $219.00?????? I would like to see a better deal. I already own three different Visions so i dont need any more. I will say all of mine i had the stocks cut shorter. Length of pull was to long for me.

Its the best ive seen. I didnt know they made them in stainless.

Someday i will pick one up for a project gun. IMO they have potential and a somewhat unique hammerless design.

Thanks for the link, i will have to keep an eye on that one....hmm a Lehigh BP + Vision=very interesting. I can dream cant I ?

That gun will be redesigned someday. Basically the trigger mechanism. You can bet it wont be a two hundred dollar gun then.

At that price i might just pick one up and put it away for later.

Dave did mention he had a little interest in a conversion but.....who knows.

I like my Vision:



I only paid $179 during a special deal for it back in 2009. The funny part is the scope is worth more then the gun ($279). But I love it and am very happy with the way it perrforms.

I am shooting a 350 gr. FPB and 90 grs. of BH 209. But I must admit that the LOP is a little too long.

I bought a Knight Vision in June, 2006. I paid $389 for it at Scheels. They told me it was Stainlees Steel, and being full camo, I didn't know it wasn't. That's another story, but that's not why I don't like it. It goofy to load the primer, and you need a tool to pry the old one off, yes PRY it off. So after you shoot, you need to open the gun, take a tool or knife and pry out primer, close gun (you can't reload it broke open very easily), reload, open gun again, put new primer in, close gun. Also if you use a sling, the gun opens on it's own a times from catching on clothing. The trigger,....poor, and non adjustable. It does seem to be fairly accurate, if you can used to a junky trigger. ram rod is kind of cheap and flimsy and a little short. I'm left handed, so I liked the fact you could flip the safety, but the visible red line is very thin and hard to see, I find myself checking and rechecking it, and then because it moves very little, I don't always get it off when I'm taking a shot. This gun would have to be cheap, but with a scope and rings included, ( I paid extra for those on mine of course), probably not a bad buy, but don't expect a lot.
Good luck if you buy one, I hope it's more fun for you, than it was for me!

One of two things. Either you got a lemon, which is very possible. Or, with all due respect, you sound if you would bitch if they tried to hang you with a new rope!

I am leaning to towards the lemon option.
