Knight Vision Rifle
« on: December 31, 2012, 07:47:24 PM »
Has anyone here used or know about the Knight Vision rifle?  I've been thinking about getting a T/C Triumph, and then I ran across the Vision.  I've had good luck with Knight rifles in the past.

I have both the TC Triumph, and the Knight Vision.  They are both good rifles. The differences are:

The Triumph (around $450 - $600) is a lot more money than the Vision ($330 - Blued version). 

The Knight rifle is all steel, the Triumph has an aluminum alloy receiver.  The Knight Vision comes in blue and stainless, the Triumph comes in blue, and a "weathershield" (silver colored) finish.  I'm not quite sure, but it always felt like the Knight was a little heavier.  The Triumph has a exposed hammer which must be cocked prior to firing, the Vision does not have an exposed hammer.

If  you decide to buy the Knight Vision, I would recommend that you make sure that you purchase the version that doesn't use the red plastic (primer) jacket.  I purchased the Vision that used the red plastic jacket, but I later purchased the "adaptor" that allowed you to just use a #209 primer without the red plastic jacket.  I believe that Knight now sells the Vision in both versions.  The Triumph has the "speed breech" feature, which to me wasn't much of a selling point.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

I have the Knight Vision and would recommend it to anyone.  I know of the TC but never had one of the Triumphs.  the Triumphs are very light in weight do to the aluminum.  I am not partial to TC modern ML rifles.  the vision however, is a great gun.  I am shooting the Hornady 350 gr FPB and 100 grs of BH209.


And they come in other then blue or SS:

If you might be buying the new Knight Vision you could be in for a real treat.  While it looks like the original Vision it has been re-tooled and the tolerances have been tightened up.  It is also can be equpped with a scope rail that allows easier positioning of the scope.
I have been told the reciever is now being machined and the trigger has been improved... the old Vision was good the new Vision could be great..
 
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - they are a blast....

Mine is one of the new models.  It has Timany trigger, Green Mtn. barrel and the new improved breech plug.  The bed part about my gun is I only paid $179 for it!!!  I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon.
