The Field and Stream article is misleading. They list the full MSRPs for the Knight, and LHR (composite) but not for the StrikeFire. They list $375 for the Traditions which is not even close to MSRP and on sale its over $425 at Cabelas for the model shown in the article. How hard is it to post the correct price on ALL the models shown and reviewed? Or atleast reflect the prices you can actually pay.
All can be found for a good savings. Sprotsmans guide has Knight ULs for close to $700 and LHRs can be found for roughly $540 (base). Ive seen them a little cheaper but not much.
F&S obviously has been motivated to not reflect that fact. MSRP for the StrikeFire is over $400 (base model) according to Cabelas and over $500 for the one shown.
BTW LHR just released a carbine too with a 20" barrel. Now they just need to get rid of that coating in the barrel. It has not proven to improve accuracy as far as i can tell. It appears to be hurting it if anything.
