Knight Rifles as it is now instantiated starting limiting E-tail commerce of Knight acoutrements last year.
In March 2011, the TK2000 shotgun was available for shipment (orders could be made in advance).
In May 2011, the Bighorn and Littlehorn became available for shipment (I received my BH in late May).
Mountaineers were available to ship in July.
I made two E-tail transactions with Knight this year, they were a step above a snail mail order, with email acknowledgements and shipped pings, but things showed up when they showed up (took 6 weeks for the pre-ordered gun, a week+ for a scope base).
If you have experience with Amazon or Newegg or Opticsplanet or Midway (some examples of very savvy E-tailers) you know how much they keep you in the loop as your order proceeds from inventory to packing to carrier to your door.
My experience with Knight and a little market research tells me Knight is not really interested in being an E-tailer. They will make it an option, but they would rather move the bulk of their merchandise through other E-tail/retail establishments.
Just a month or so ago, Midway began offering Knight's new production rifles AND at lower prices than Knight does on their web site. The price break alone tells me Knight would rather let the pro's handle the retail side. As to whether that is a wise decision, I am undecided.
Midway nows how to do logistics, inventory control, and how to leverage E-commerce. After all, I get an annual Birthday card from Larry Potter with a digital cupcake and a Birthday discount.
In the meantime, I recommend dealing with Midway to get your Knight and/or accessories. The pricing indicates to me that Knight wants to
concentrate on production.
