Knight Rifles Opinions Please

I'm looking for a new muzzleloader and I'm going to keep my loyalty to Knight Rifles. i want your opinions on the Knight Rolling Block. I like the looks and feel of this model andI have a line on a new one with the walnut stock and blued barrel.

Rolling block has two potential problems that I am aware of. It will not handle BH209 powder consistently and the action sometimes has problems getting everything working correctly. I have one that I bought but have not even shot yet as I have other rifles that are commanding all my time at present. There were early problems with lack of firing due to primer hit problems.

I picked up a newer version of the Knight Vision:



It comes with the new breech plug and is virtually blowback free. I got this one from Sportsman Guide and paid $179. I really love it for an inline.

The Knight Disc Extreme was one of the best muzzle loaders ever made. If you can find one of these you will do well to buy it.

I second the issue with the primers not firing. I bought one last fall and could not get the the hammer to release since the primer seemed to not fit correctly. I sent back the trigger assembly thinking that was the issue and they replaced it but that did not fix the problem. Next I sent back the breek plug after comparing it to one in a local store. That fixed the issue. It seems the plug I had was not tapped deep enough to allow the primer to seat completely. Otherwise it's been a great gun. I couldn't pass it up for 150 in Cabelas bargain cave.

Thanks to all who have responded, I guess I'll pass on this one. Bass Pro had it for $400 Ok then what are your opinions on the KP1 will it fire Blackhorn? Thoughts problems ect.

$400 is too much for a blue Rolling Block. I paid less than that for my stainless one. One additional note; The stock on the KRB is set up for scopes and the iron sights are nearly impossible to get a good picture on as the comb is too high.

I shouldered the gun a few weeks ago the wood stock virtually has not raise in the comb, but after the thoughts on here and reading the old topic I have decided to go another route. I'm looking into a Long Range Hunter which is option number one. I found one that is NIB and never been fired but the guy wants $600 for it. Option two is a KP1 which is used but the guy only wants $450.

Any opinions on the Knight KP-1? Problems will it fire BH 209?

Natchez shooting supply's new closeout flyer has the .50 extreme, s.s. composite listed for 318$. It's on the right hand side of the home page. It's on page 12/13 of the flyer.

Thanks I see thay also have the Knight LRH on clearance also .50 and .52 cal green lam stock.

Hornet, keep searching. I just found a brand new in the box laminate thumbhole LRH with hard case and scope for $499. They were selling for $459 without case and scope. They may have some left Here's the info.
The name of the store is VF Sports in Port Huron, Michigan. Their number is 810-985-7733.
Good luck.

Yeah thanks I got that info off of another thread I started on the LRH. I'm going to call tomarrow. Any chance your buddy would want to sell his thumbhole stock cheap or trade. I saw your add in the classiifeds, that would be if I get one.

Hornet, he just got the gun 4 days ago and just bought the non-thumbhole today so it will probably be a week before he gets it. He wants to see which stock feels better and he will more than likely sell off the other one. It will probably be a little while but I will keep you posted. If/when he lets one go you will get first choice at it.

Thatds ok I do not have mine yet nor have I found one but I;m still checking leads. Thanks for the info.

VF Sports out of Long Range Hunters. I just called and spoke to Tim, he told me he was all out.

Give Natchez a call to see if they can give you a better deal. $300 or less is a good price IMO if you really want it. They gave me a deal on an MK-85 a few years back.

They had 7 a couple weeks ago. My friend Vance thought he got the last one. Oh well it was worth a shot. If I were you I would google "Knight Long Range Hunter" That was how I found the ones at VF sports.
Good luck, I'll keep an eye out for you.
