Default What would you do ?

Ive been thinking about the Knight ultra light . Seems like it would be a good gun for the mountain area .
But they haven't been out long enough for any to show up for sale used. Someone suggested I should sell a couple guns and buy one , but I really don't like selling guns. Trading is ok but not selling.
So here are my options:
1. Sell a couple guns and buy an ultra light
2.try to find one that i can trade for
3.just save money and buy one next year
4. Forget the ultra light
What would you do?
Number 4 is probably not an option

You can always sell me a certain gun for cheap to help chip away at the funds you need.

Well, I made the decison to sale to gain funds for future investment... In fact I have one more to move but going to wait awhile before pushing it out the door..

I have made the decision that the U-Lite is going to be my everyday rifle... and you and I know that they are built to be exactly that...

The only reason that I might jump on another one is next year they might have a faster twist 45 cal U-Lite...

I'll probably keep buying Whites and older Knights . The ultra light will probably stay way on the back burner Then someday when there are a bunch around I'll find an even trade . That's probably what will happen. Besides I still have a White to pay for

Check it out when you get it and see what you think. It was and has been an excellent shooter for me... but I really want to get to a lighter rifle.

I am like you.. I hate to see guns. I would just wait until I saw the one I wanted and then purchase it. If it means that much to you. You have plenty of rifles to use in the mean time.

As you may have noticed by my site name, I'm old (70s), but when I have a gun that will do the job it's hard to put it aside. For me money is tight so guess I'd have to save up and look for one when it became avaivable used. Athough,as previously suggested, you do have a good reputation on his site, and the manufacturer just might give you one to test. Give it a try.

The Ultra-lite has the best/strongest/lightest stock knight ever made. That's very important to a hunter in my opinion. It's a huge benefit for me even when I stand hunt.
