knight vision?

[caplock]

anyone know why sportsmans guide has these so cheap? is there something wrong with them? I looked at one once and thought it looked ok. Now sportsmans guide has them for 170.00 blued or 200.00 for a stainless, sounds cheap to me. I don't think they make them anymore, do they still warranty them? Just wondering.

I have not heard anybody complain about the Sportsman's Guide Knight Vision rifles.

I would imagine if these rifles were "blemished" the Sportsman's Guide would list it as such in their advertisement. As far as the price I have no idea why they are so cheap. I have heard they are built very well, and at that price I don't think you can go wrong.

These are new rifles so I believe they carry the same warranty as all other Knight rifles.

The forum member Pluckit purchased a Vision from Sportsman's last week and last I heard he had no complaints with the quality of workmanship or condition of the gun. I do not know if he has shot it yet. There are other members on here that own Visions as well and I have not heard of any major complaints. Good luck with your purchase.

I have just about convinced myself to purchase one of these in stainless, although the last thing I really need right now is another muzzleloader. Heck, I can't even make time to shoot the ones I have now.

The local mom and pop gun shop I frequently patron has two in stock, both stainless. He obviously can't match Sportsman's price but he's dropped his price as well. If I do buy I will probably buy from him. They have excellent customer service and support and that means everything to me.

The Sportsmans Guide just raised the price $30.00.
The Sportsmans guide has a good return policy but I think you'll be happy with the gun when you get it. I was. With the length of pull, sabotloader had stated he had a problem with the scope coming far enough back. At first I didn't see any problem but I was only looking through it at 3X. When I cranked it up to 9x I saw that the scope should come back a little farther, but it's all the way back allready. I can use it the way it is but I think I'll just get some scope extension rings for it. I think that will solve the problem. It is a nice gun. I like it and I'm anxious to get it out and shoot it.

Wow that is tempting. I know Sabotloader and Grouse shot a Vision. And they were real pleased with the accuracy and the way it functioned.

The Visons that Sportsmans are selling are made from parts that Knight had on hand at the end of their run. They are regular normal Vision set-up.

Do you consider the stainless worth the price Sabotloader?

I thought Visions originally came with a FPJ setup. The ones from SG come with a NFPJ from the 3 reports ive seen.

IMO the stainless for $200 is a great deal. They might need a few tweaks but for the price, there is plenty of room for some minor mods.

I still have high hopes the "new" Knight will take another look at an improved Vision. Its wouldn't take much for them to be a serious affordable option. R&D to get it there would be minimal.

The vision is the second best brake open available today.

Oh ya! You can not feel how much of a rifle that Vision is until you pick one up. The SS is just that much better, especially if you get the correct breech plug.

I am certainly not a break open fan, in fact they do not interest me at all... I have a Triumph and it really does shoot well, and Tom probably will not like this... but if I were to buy a any break open today it would be the SS Vision, it would be my #1 with the Triumph second. When you see the mechanics of their hinge and positive lock-up it becomes clear. Their lock is a latch that you pull tight, something like a Triumph.

Plus they do not shoot to bad at all.

I did not get to shoot this one a lot before I sent it back to Grouse, but it certainly showed promise..
