Gents,

I the new Knight Ultra-Lite is posted on their website. The green kevlar stock is quite nice looking. The barrel is 24". The rifle looks like an Elite.

I was really hoping that it would not be that expensive... but just the light weight Kevlar stock jumps the price pretty decently.

All-in-all - I am pretty sure that I will get one. Before I quit using centerfire rifles I hunted with a Tikka Light 300 win mag, and I have to tell you I really enjoyed walking around with a 6# rifle all especially since I am getting way old.

I know a lot of people will worry about or consider the recoil of the light rifle but for myself only it will not be a problem. Shooting a 3 1/2" Turkey load more than 2 or 3 times in a row... that recoil I notice...

Or sweet, depending on your preferences.

(Sorry about that Smokepole. Couldn't help myself.)

You can say that again!
That's about 5 times the cost of just about any one of mine. Shipping included.
To each his own I guess?

Good McMillian stocks can easily go for $500-600. The Kevlar/Graphite stock on my NULA is in the $500-600 range too. 1lb stocks are not cheap to make.
