Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. PRADCO bought them several years ago, that's probably the only reason they lasted this long. 20 years ago they were THE STUFF and Tony Knight pioneered the inline muzzleloader but 10 years ago or so the TC Encore and the multitude of cheap import crap like CVA and others put a crimp on Knight's once dominate marketshare.
I still have my lil ol Knight Wolverine sittin in the gunsafe. Several years ago I put the 209 conversion in it and even carried it too New Mexico for my elkhunt in the Gila. But it was replaced a few years ago by a much superior frontstuffer, the smokeless Savage! :wink:
I'm sure Obongo is cryin in his fried chicken tonight as well,
