I have to say personally I really dislike Proprietary marketing. I understand it but I do dislike it.

It really becomes of a problem for us that live in small town USA and can get the proprietary parts we might need in a timely manner.

Another fact is price competition, it certainly takes away from that.

In the case of the 52, Proprietary to Knight, I would not have bought mine if Knight had stayed with the policy that they would not sale empty sabots. Even then when I checked the price of the sabots with other MMP sabots the price was comparable.

Had Knight stayed with the policy of selling bullets and sabots only - I would not have purchased the 52.

Most big businesses these days really want to control the you and the marketplace, kinda like the political parties. I hope we as consumers can avoid falling into the trap completely.
