the future of knight?
« on: November 05, 2008, 06:00:32 AM »
yall think knight will keep on pluggin', or do you think t/c will run them out of the muzzleloader market?  it seems every year tc has more and more guns, shooters, and adds, and knight has less of each.  what do you think?
I've got to many but never enough!!!! :eek:

Knight makes a high quality/attractive product.  I think Knight will be fine.

I hope they do well. I have the knight original disc muzzleloader. It is very accurate. I killed a pretty good 8 pt. Tuesday evening with it. I just bought a kp1 in 308. I have it sighted in, but haven't got to hunt with it yet.

You can have your quality Knight but I wouldn't trade my junk Encore for 10 Knights :P

I have used both and like them ,my knight was a good little rifle and so is my encore.
I enjoy collecting guns, swaping and staying up on all the newest models. I deer, quail, squirrel and rabbit hunt.

They are both good guns,and company's! Knight really got the "in-line muzzel loaders" into the field in the beginning. T/C has built many  ( BP and smokless") "quality" guns for years. T/C spends more money on marketing,by doing so,they get more exposure to the hunting public. Ron

T/C and Knight are what I consider the 2 quality brands.  I think Knight hurt themselves by sticking too long to their attempt to create proprietary streams of revenue (the DISC system and the .52 saga).  I personally have never owned a Knight ONLY because I refused to buy a gun I was locked into buying proprietary components for -- otherwise I would have bought an Elite years ago.

If they continue to make good products and a real innovation or two, they will succeed.
