Corey if you want to try an interesting Knight, they have Visions on sale too for $200 and they are built like a tank. $219 for stainless.

don't have the funds yet. after the first of the year. if the deal holds out with my wife.

treat her nicely, buy her flowers and some hoppes #9 perfume and she will stick to her end of the bargain.

After reading this I remembered some TC Accessories I bought last year at Wal-Mart......as I looked over the Packaging I noticed something on the back of them that struck my eye,,,,,,Made In CHINA! Have Pics to Prove it. That just go's to show ya NOT every Good Old you thought was Made in USA Product is Made in USA, sure some stuff is but not all of there stuff. DAMN CHINESSE! So reguardless if CVA is made in Spain or wherever, TC is also Prostituting there Supplies and Parts out of the Good OL USA. It's SAD but Nothing is as everyone thinks it is.

In Canada, all firearms are imports, but I do like supporting my neighbors. I try and buy the "most local" as i can, providing the quality is there!

Whether it is from China, USA or Timbuktu, it really does not matter. We all like to buy American. Not meaning to demean on other countries mind you. We like American rifles, cars, TVs, you name it. The trouble is America has outsourced itself. They did it for profit and to be competitive in the worlds market.

I could care less who shoots what or where it came from. All I concern myself with is, the product does not hurt anyone, the person that owns it is satisfied with the purchase, and that they do not insist their selections on me or anyone else. We all have rifles, or cars, trucks in my case, that we are proud of. While we can tout the good points of the things we own or use, we should never demand that they are the best because we say so. Further, it is wrong to imply that anyone that does not use them is mistaken because of it.

Just keep these great forum reports of products and experiences coming in like you have been. Tell me of what this product did for you that you like or better yet, dislike. Tell me why you feel I might benefit from it. And then I will decide for myself.

This is a great forum. All the members here I have really grown to respect and trust. Many I consider a friend, though I have never personally met them. For that I thank you.

An amusing joke my father likes to tell me.. "there are two people in the world I trust. That would be me, and you. And to be honest, I am not to sure about you."

What Cayugad said.

Was watching the outdoor channel this morning while getting my shooting stuff ready.

Most like to claim TC's prices are high due to the being made in american, not in some other country where prices are kept low and people are paid little. Although no one knows the real wages they make.

My take, Someones gotta pay for that TV Sponsorship and Ad's. That'd be you, the buyer helping pay off that stuff on tv.

Myself, i try to buy things made in USA. This includes hand tools, power tools, shoes , shirts, rifles, coats etc. My first muzzle loader was an Omega. At the time, what i had decided to purchase, was a Triumph, but i couldn't get my face low enough on the comb, to see the sights. Here we must use iron sights during muzzle loader season. The Omega worked great. During the off season i scoped it, so i could see the sights, so i could make more accurate loads. When i did that, i noticed it was some difficult to prime the Omega with a scope mounted. I just wanted to give a break action a try. Ruling out the Omega, the next best thing was the Accura.

I had to struggle to purchase the Accura, because it wasn't made in USA. It didn't seem i had much choice. I find the Accura to be clunky, but it is accurate. As time went by, i found i didn't want to use my center fire rifle any more. So, when Cabela's put the Triumph on sale for $250, i jumped on it, because i would scope it to use in our rifle season. Then i purchased another Omega to scope, and use during our rifle season. All three of these USA made rifle, have better trigger, than the Accura. All are nice rifle, but then again, so is the Accura.

Now, i have made one more step to the 'dark side'. I puchased the V2.

It has become easier for me to purchase items not made in the USA. Reason being, there are so many things so difficult to find USA made. I recently purchased a power tool that i didn't really need, because it was made in USA, and it seemed the model was being replaced by an identical tool made over seas. It seemed, this would be my last chance to own that tool made in USA.

What makes me kinda sad, is both them Accura seem to be more accurate than my rifles made in USA. My USA made rifles, carry better, and have better triggers, and are more comfortable to me when 'thrown' to the shoulder. I just like them USA rifles, is all. A troublesome thing to me, the QRBP is a paradigm changing breech plug, and here it is, mounted in a foreign rifle.
