I'm in the market for a new smoke pole and have been looking the Knight line of muzzle loaders. I like the fact that several of their models come with synthetic thumb hole stocks. Anyone here have experience (good, bad or indifferent) with Knight rifles?
Thanks.

Knight makes a darn good rifle. I'd go with the bare primer version and most likely the Mountaineer, but the Ultra lite is a great shooter too.
Go all out and although expensive, the Knight 500 in 45cal is winning many competitions.

I believe they're making a 1:20 twist .45cal Mountaineer. I heard it wasn't listed on the web site, but you have to call about the 1:20.

I have a couple of the earlier Knight Disc rifles. They are my favorite in-lines and wouldn't hesitate to by another one if I needed one.
Now I can't speak for the new models that are being built by the different owners . Mine are the Tony Knight originals.

Now that's saying something. Doing it right instead of just the bare minimum. They take pride in their work and the product they represent. A rare thing these days that would influence my decision if I were in the market for a new ML

I have a Knight disc that I converted with a 209 system and it's a great gun. I had my friend bust a nice 120+ inch 8 point with it this year.
