Yeah, that .52 was a fiasco. At least the num nuts who dreamed that one up is now out of a job.
I bet Knight lost a lot of money on that one.
"Let's see, 90 per cent of the ammo is made for the .50, and the rest is for the .54 and the .45, let's invent an obscure caliber that nobody can get ammo for, that has very little ballistic advantage over the .50"
They had an ad touting their little red primer holders as making the Knight waterproof.
The had a full page ad with a Knight setting in a 5 gallon bucket full of water.
The ad said, "Takes a Soaking, and Keeps on Smoking."
They said they had immersed a Knight for an hour and it still fired.
Well, I have been hunting for 30 years, including a lot of hunting in swamps, and along the Oconee River. I never have gotten my rifle submerged. I also don't hunt in the rain.
So, the performance after immersion is not a big deal to me.
I never owned a Knight, and a big reason was those stupid orange primer holders. I do know they made some very good guns, one of them, the Disc Elite, was routinely getting 3/4 inch groups right out of the box.
Hell I still can't do that well with my Savage.
