Don't know where you can get one but will say unless you have tried one out I would find one to try first.

Maybe it is just me but it seems like the knight thumbholes allow for too much of your finger to go into the trigger. I like a stock to allow only the front part of my finger into the trigger but thier stocks allow for my whole finger to enter. I think there should be more stock between the thumbhole and the trigger guard.

I'd have to disagree with SW Iowa Hunter. I have a thumbhole composite stock on my DISC and I find it to be the most comfortable and natural fitting stock, and hence more accurate for me to shoot. Stock fit is a very personal thing though. I like having the trigger touch my finger at the inside joint of the first and second digit of my index finger, so a longer reach is preferred.
