For $200, does anything beat the TC Omega?

As far as I know, Knight is no longer SELLING rifles. Which means customer service operations are burning through someone's pocket, probably while they look for a buyer to restart production.

What happens if they don't? Without a revenue stream, customer service will eventually fold. I would not depend on it being around for any amount of time.

I'm going by internet rumors, so correct me if I'm wrong and they do have some sort of revenue stream or confirmed plans to start selling guns again.

I have nothing against Knight guns, except for a few flop models (that probably led to their downfall) they made some fine guns. I just don't see a company without income staying around.

I think the company that owned Knight shut that particular division down. It owned several and Knight was one of them, so with that said, I believe it was Muzzleloading Manufacturing that owned Knight. They were loosing money by the tons and had to do something, hence shut Knight Muzzleloading down. This company still ownes the Green Mountain Barrel and will cover the warranty work on Knight rifles as well the way I have come to understand it.

FG I don't have a dog in this fight but I can't understand your perverse desire to bash Knights any chance you get, especially when you have never owned one and no nothing about them. Let it go.

Who would be pushing a product out of production and getting very hard to find? More like they are trying to answer questions based on fact and with often extensive hands on experiance. I give them far more credibility then someone making every post an interview for a field testing or leg humping position.

Omega? $200? Score! I can't think of any better for the price...and it's hard to beat the omega regardless. They're simple and shoot well, I like the trigger on mine (super crisp, weight is decent). About the only downside is its not the easiest to clean the breechblock face. No problems with mine, toss me some 250 shockwaves and watch 'em drop.

You expressed my thoughts on the matter very well. I hope they do fine a buyer, and I am glad CVA is making some fine rifles now; Competition is good for the sport and good for us and some of the Knight rifles were excellent. Lee
