I really did not need or even want to get a new Knight... the ones that I had were and are working just fine. But I really liked the looks and the fluting on the barrel. Then when they said I could get it with a composite thumbhole - I changed my mind, and I agree with you I think it looks nice and it does appear that it is going to be a good shooter.

I've been Seriously Considering getting a Knight, and that one looks like it could be the one, what's the Barrel Length?
Knight moved the barrel length to 27" I could have done without that but it seems that is what a lot of folks wanted. The 26" barrel served me just fine.

Im not one for the Thumbhole but I also Prefer the Synthetic Stocks. What Camp Pattern is on the Stock?
I never ever thought i would use a TH to hunt with but it really has grown on me and now is very comfortable - I also believe it provides a bit more consistent accuracy.

Is the Lehigh/Bloodline a New Bullet? could you Post a Pic of it?
They are the same, well not quite, bullet that Lehigh has made in the past, but Knight has contracted Lehigh to make bullets for them so Lehigh bullets are not long available from Lehigh.





These are 458's but the 250 is very simular...

What's the Cost of one of them Mike? I know what the Leupold USMLS Cost as I have one. was it a Package Deal.
I had a 20% discount coupon and the change of stock also helped reduce the cost from what is posted on Knight. The scope added most of it back as they(Knight) adds about $200 back on for that - but again the 20% came off the entire order.

And the Barrel is Stainless right?
10-4 Stainless Green Mountain barrel and under the contract Knight tightened the tolerances on the bore and the BP cavity.

Sorry for all the questions but If Im going to consider a Knight I want to know all I can from someone like You who has a few of them.
Enjoy Your New MLer!

Not a problem... talk to you later...
