Default Good Deal Or Not?

I know a guy that buys and sells his hunting guns like I change my clothes. He shot a deer with his fathers Encore at 140yds. now he wants an Encore. He told me he wanted to sell his Knight Disc he bought last year for $200.00. It is a 50cal., synthetic stock, blue steel, Bushnell Sportsman 3-9, sling, two bags of discs, breech tool, and case. I have a Knight MK-85 that I will never get rid of, but I figured I couldn't go wrong for 200.00!! If he misses a few deer with his new Encore, that will be for sale next.

If it is in brand new shape as stated, it is a very good deal.

I don't care much for the scope you mentioned. Maybe that's why he missed the deer. It's an OK deal,but not great. Wait for the Encore.

Can I have first crack at the Encore?

I would get it Mid for $200. Its a good gun.

I bought it, even though I don't need it. You can't go wrong with a Knight. I agree with the post above, the scope isn't that great. I think I'm going to put a Leupold 2-7 on.

Congrats on the doe, I usually use my Knight MK-85. It is actually the most accurate gun I own. I still use powder and number 11 caps. I'm moving up in the world with that disc. Then again I'm usually one of the last guys to move on to better technology.
