Cajun,

The Knight USAK package usually goes for about $180 these days. That's what I started with, and I haven't regretted it for 1 moment. It's Knight's entry level gun, but if I can put bullets thru the same hole at 100yds with it - what more do I need. It is much like last year's version of the .45cal rifle in that it likes long, heavy bullets for the best accuracy - which I have no problem with. But .45 shooters want those high velocity numbers that only light bullets can give, so Knight and most of the other manufacturers are changing their .45s to slower twist barrels for 2002.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Knight models. Cabelas is currently offering the Bighorn model for $199.00. I believe this is a closeout, so not many will be available, but it is a steal at that price! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
