I take a little bit of an exception to this as the TC's and Whites that I have are quality guns, so while I shoot Knight I also purchase and shoot others... I will admit that I do vastly prefer bolts over breaks and I do even prefer plunger guns versu break opens
Average Joe would be well advised to look at the top end of CVA's product line. He'll not likely find either those or a Knight Mountaineer in Wal-Mart. That isn't meant to suggest the Knight is on even par with an Apex or even an Accura.
One of these days, Alice!
Actually this individual is trying to buy a Knight but the price of the gun is the hold up other than he has found a a new Wolverine that he can get for a little more than the least expensive CVA/Traditions.
But the point being the price of the rifle is one of the most looked at reason that rifles are sold. And the marketing folks for CVA/Traditions know this and produce a rifle just for this market. Somebody has to fill the market needs. This individual is really very typical of the majority of the ML shooters in the West. What can I get cheap that will do the job for 9 days a year. And if you are looking for a cheap rifle CVA and Traditions fit the bill. Not to say that the rifle will not do the job for those folks for those few days.
You are correct... the 'average joe' should look at the other end of the CVA/Traditions line - but then he would not be the 'average joe' correct?
