They both have Green Mountian Barrels. They both have Timney triggers. They both have the same kind of actions. They both have synthetic stocks. I have seen both of them and unless I look on the barrel and see which one is which, I can not tell them apart. Both are excellent shootes. I own the Wolverine II and really like the rifle. I have sure heard a lot of good things on the American Knight also. I know the sale your talking about... it caught my interest for sure.
