Default New Knight

Well I was wanting some new and something different from what I have had before. I ended up ordering a Knight Mountaineer in .52 caliber so we will see how she does. I know that caliber is controversial but I believe it is going to work out just fine. I will get some pictures up when it arrives. I got the Olive Thumbhole stock with it.

I was thinking that. I like a good eye relief anyway but for me there will be no option with this one. I was looking at the bullets and thought It should take care of any Whitetail that I come across.

Of course you already no that I am totally biased about this whole thing....

Great gun - even better caliber - but more importanty the twist rate is the key. Great stabilty for big and/or short bullets.

Nice move.

I love my .52 in a Disc Extreme. You have a ton of .458 bullets to play around with.

Way to go! Glad to see someone that cares about being "Made in America."

Not trying to start a war but it just baffles me to see someone buy an imported gun or a gun with imported components, and complain about no American jobs ???

Chadad, don't worry about Devil. His reading comprehension skills aren't all that good.
