You can get a lower end Knight or TC for the price of the Traditions.
That's good advice Ruben....
Lower end in price, but there is not lower end in quality when talking Thompson Center or Knight in my opinion. That was one reason I bought my Thompson Center Black Diamond XR. I remember when they first came out they were all in the high $300+ range. One day, Bass Pro had them on sale for $229.00 (later they even went as low as $199.00 I believe) and since I always wanted one, I bought it. This was then conisdered a lower end Thompson Center but the quality is there for sure. It will shoot with any rifle out there on the ranges.
