When i first heard Knight Rifles was sponsoring Toby Bridges i new future problems would arise. After the fiasco with savage Arms and Henry Ball how could anyone ever trust him again? After looking at Tobys sight it does look like Knight has finnaly stopped sponsoring him. It would not surprise me if we see blown up muzzleloaders and faulty parts coming from Toby and his friends. I guess we will sit back and see what he comes up with next.

Considering his past issues with Savage, Knight (when Tony owned it), Pedersoli and an internet provider.... his actions don't surprise me. The article makes me wonder if he would of printed it if he had gotten a free Mountaineer for review.
"How to blow up a Savage" is another interesting article and if any of it is true...TB should be shunned by all sponsors.

About a lot of that I have two grains of salt. But the part about the customer service some of our club that bought from the new company have put on a show of all there attempts to gain contact and complain that they never received any response what so ever. The problems were relatively minor and my self and an other fellow who has a bit of tooling corrected them. It bothers me greatly that they did not even get a response, but they mostly tried by e-mail and telephone and I would have sent a few registered letters, so I have some questions about that also. Having had Knights from the original company I can say for sure they never play their customers that way.

I have never been a TB fan by no means, so, I can only speak on the Knights that I own. I do own a new Mountaineer and I an older Disc Extreme and and MHC. I have tried to interchange the bolts in them and it does not work at all for me. I have had a couple of issues with the Mountaineer, the first was my fault, not the company or the gun itself. I called and got things taken care of quickly. The second, the butt pad flaked away, I called Knight and they had me send the whole stock back in to replace the pad, since these are not made in house they had to replace the stock as well. I will admit, I don't like the colors in my new stock as well as I did my old stock but very shape to say the least. Again, quick service and no charge at all. I was handled very well. I love my Knights and will continue to shoot and buy their equipment. Toby at one time could not say enough "Great" things about Knight,now he can't seem to say anything positive about them. Amazing what the dollar has control of!!

I quit reading what Toby said when he tried to convince his readers that round balls were inhumane and shouldn't be used on anything larger than small game...
Funny, I've got magazines and a book or two from the 70s that show him with both deer and hogs killed with flinters and roundballs...Just isn't any money in pushing traditional muzzleloaders....
Working for Deere for many years made me leary of self proclaimed ex-spurts, I've seen plenty in my time....
