If you make a comment one of them does not like they all tend tp jump on you and PM you to death with threats of banning and such. Some of them seem to be shilling their favorite things and drive others that talk about their favorite things from the forum.

That is the problem as I see it. I will not post over there again.
============================================

Being an Administrator on MM I will not comment on your allegations out of respect for this forum and their rules and regulations. Something most forums have and members are required to abide by. But as for your statement...

I will not post over there again.
I can accept that with out any problem.

Now in regard to the topic of THIS forum... I don't see people upset with Knight rifles, as much as their customer service and the way they do business. I think you'd be hard pressed to get a better rifle. I do suspect in time even the problems with their office actions will improve. The thing is ... and I am the same way.. when I pay good money for a product, I expect excellent to superior customer service. While I have never had to use Knight Rifle customer service, I would hope it is fast and well handled.

I own five Knight inlines. All of them are excellent rifles. Although I will admit, they are not my favorite inlines. But I do not hate them or the way they shoot.

Knight has a good product. The price is high, but if you're going to buy the parts to make the gun. It's going to be expensive.

The problem I have with them is they have no LH guns. I pretty much ignore companies that do that.

I think there's a few small complaints that are blown out of proportion by personal issues. I think the main ones that come off as hating Knight don't some much hate Knight itself but hate a few Knight shooters.
For me, I'm a Knight guy. My most recent purchase was a Pro Hunter. It's a fine gun and I like it. That said if I could find someone to give me a good price for it I would sell it in a heartbeat and buy a Knight. But so far I can't so I'll continue to play with it.

I don't hate Knights. I just hate everyone who likes them.

I don't currently own one because I can't seem to take a liking to bolt action muzzle loaders. I wish that weren't the case because every Knight I've (temporarily) owned was a real good shooter.

I agree that there have been a few folks that had a bad experience with Knight's CS. This happens at other companies, but most work at giving the customer a great first impression. That makes them a good company.

Now as far as the Knight goes, I have one of their Visions. I never liked the bolt action MLer!!! All my inlines have been break open receivers. But I don't hate them. Just think of them as someone had mentioned, a waist of space.

Here is my Vision:



Don't know why this isn't a more popular rifle??? It has a GM barrel and a Timney trigger group. It is very accurate and reliable. And they are always on sale with someone. I think Sportsman Guide has them on sale again.

I think if drop you trigger group out you will find it not to be a Timney trigger. It is a system of springs and levers and it is not adjustable.

Even then it is still a decent trigger.

If they bring the Vision back out there is some talk of putting a real adjustable trigger in it.

rafsob, I fancy the Vision myself and would probably own one if I didn't already have the Mustang and Omega X7. I've considered getting one and chopping four to six inches off of the barrel just for grins. I would have already done that if they had produced the Vision in .45 caliber.

I only go by what they advertised. I could care less what it has, because it works and works well!!!

No hate on the rifle, just on the fact that they need to UPDATE THERE WEB SITE AND STATE SHIPPING TIMES FOR ALL PRODUCTS!!!!

Here is my problem i paid a decent sum of money that came out of my account and still no shipping, today is day 9 !!! Next I wanted to go opening day with my Knight but now it will be a CVA so thats why I am bummed !!! Reminds me when I had a issue with a Taurus I bought, as of now Knight,Taurus,Century Arms are at the bottom in my opinion
