I'm in the process of doing some research on my first (inexpensive) muzzleloader to buy. As part of that, I stopped by Scheels today, and saw that they had a couple supposedly new Knights.
Would you hesitate to buy one? As far as I can tell, the company, and their products were well respected before they went out of business. But, I don't know of any muzzleloader gunsmiths near me, and I don't really know much about them. I think I could probably figure out how to change parts out if I needed to and had diagrams etc, but I'm a bit leery of buying something that has zero CS anymore.
So, what are your thoughts?
FWIW, I'm also thinking about a CVA Wolf, or a Traditions Buckstalker. TC's are a bit out of my price range. All I'd want to do is to be able to kill a deer yearly with one at about 130 yards or less, and to figure out if muzzleloader hunting is something that I like without popping $600 on a rifle.
