Well I haven't seen much about this rifle lately. Has anyone on here shot one or at least seen one in person?? I do like the looks of the blued/walnut stocked gun.  Jack ;D |

Yep I have. I used to own an LK-92. On the streets it's known as the Wolverine. Doug had one too, plus an MK-85. The MK shoots darn good, but neither of the LK's would hit the broad side of a barn. We sold both of them. Must've been that the stocks didn't fit us properly as the folks we sold them to use them annually and usually take deer with them. Go figure.

Mamaflinter, the "Revolution" is Knight's newest addition to their fine line. Do you own one of these?

I don't know why we haven't seen many of the Revolution guns. I'd say from the looks of this gun it may be quite expensive. I have yet to see one in person or anyone who owns one. Rumers have it that it may be a step towards a "smokeless muzzleloader", but who knows?

Doug, I've found the BL/Syn Revolution for $345 and the BL/Walnut for $425 + shipping. The SS/Lam for $483. I would still like to hear a review of this rifle. I know a few folks list them but do not have them in stock. Kinda hard to sell a gun you don't have.  Jack |

Batchie After the wolverine, I just don't want any more to do with Knight. We've owned 4 of them, 2 of them didn't shoot for sour apples. Not very good odds if you ask me.

Hmmmm. I've owned one, an MK-85 years ago, and it was a good shooter. It just goes to show ya, that you can get good and bad with any of them. Can't say I blame ya! Bad experiences with any product makes me leary on future purchase with the same affiliation. What ya shootin' now Mama?

I'm not so hot on Knight rifles either though one of a couple I owned shot pretty well. I think Flatland Hunter has it now and is doing well with the rifle. It was a disc and I just couldn't get over being required to buy some new component to shoot a rifle, especially when that component was available from just one source.
The Revolution has had production problems from what I've heard and, last I was told, would begin shipping just this month. Still see none in stock so that may yet be the hang-up. I believe the issue involves the casting of one of the major action pieces. Hearsay, but probably fairly accurate info.

That explains alot! Thanks UC. I figured that if the rifle was worth the hill of beans they're asking for it, it surely would have made it into somebody's hands by now. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Gentleman I own several knight rifles, my latest is the Knight Master Hunter. I can truthfully say it is one fine shooting rifle, although you are correct as to finding one that don't shoot well. In 1988 I purchased a Knight MK-85 in 45 Caliber, tried every bullet combination possible and could not get it to shoot no matter what I fed it. even returned it to Knight to no avail still wouldn't shoot worth a hoot. I own an encore, remington,austin halleck,and two Knight Hawkeye pistols

What ya shootin' now Mama? Batchie I own a pair of .54 cal T/C Hawkens (one in flint, one in cap), a T/C Treehawk in 12 ga. a T/C .56 cal. smoothbore, a T/C .45 Patriot pistol and the jewel which is my custom built .40 pre-revolutionary war era vernor. She's a dream to shoot. It's got a 44', "A" weight Colerain swamped barrel, large siler lock, davis double set triggers, and about 12 or so inlays I personally inlaid into the stock. The rifle was built by myself and Doug. My problem is finding the time to shoot. |
