Good riflemen demand a good trigger...Most Knight rifles came with an adjustable Timney trigger...Couple this with a Green Mountain barrel and a good bedded stock and you will have a good shooting rifle...
Knight let T/C get a leg up in the Marketing...I told my buddies years ago that I would love to take over that Department at Knight...
T/C hit the infomercials with their Omega and Encore and made buyers think that cleaning a Knight was drudgery...When in reality having a bolt with an adjustable trigger is an advantage and one reason Knights are known for their accuracy...
The Discs are an advantage as well...No more fumbling with primers, dropping them, pulling out the pocket knife to get them out of the plunger area...Simply open the bolt, drop the disc in and close, couldn't be simpler...
Expert riflemen demand a good trigger, the bolt and disc compliment this trigger...
Marketing influences customers decisions...It's why some buy a certain powder because it's "cleaner" even though it's twice as much or has less velocity...
It's why customers buy certain bullets because they load easier with no regard to terminal ballistics or their poor ballistic coefficient...
It's why customers buy powder formed into pellets instead of using loose...Without realizing that when you are muzzloading you are also handloading and you get the best accuracy from loose...
From a design standpoint, the Knights are superior...
