Not sure why the hostility here. I have both a Knight Revolution and a TC Encore Pro Hunter. I am seting up the Encore for my wife to start hunting with me. Next year I may add a .243 barrel for her and maybe another year a .223 for varmints for me.

I really like both guns and they both have their plusses and minuses. For one, TC is still in business, can't say for sure about Knight. But beyond that, the TC requires an attachment to the rod to load which will make it slow to reload in the field. It does have the power rod/T-handle which is nice. The Knight rod can load the gun with no attachments. The TC, as mentioned previously, can break open and pull the breach in a few seconds. With the Knight, I have to take off the forestock, unscrew a bolt that holds the barrel on and then unscrew the breach plug. Then do it all in reverse to reassemble. Not a 60 second operation.

But like I said, I like them both and am hoping to take a deer with each this year as well as help my wife get her first deer.
