Tominator Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Depends on who's holding the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8shooter48 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Knight muzzleloaders "Made in the USA" and use Green Mountain rifle barrels. CVA Made in Spain, use Spanish steel to make barrels. My opinion in the matter here is Buy American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 T/C is way better. But out of the two i would say knight. (I had to say it jacob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horst Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I own both, have had my knight for something like 5 years and my CVA for 2 years.Both were in a similiar price range, both shoot well and have killed several deer without any serious problems. But the Knight has held up better then the CVA, I hunt pretty aggresively and am hard on equipment.I hunt the late season as well which subjects the guns to all sorts of weather variation, rain, ice, snow, cold, warm, sometimes all in the same day.The Knights got a little rust showing up now and minor pitting in the barrel, the CVA has unexplainable bare spots on the barrel where the bluings gone and a spot inside the barrel thats gotten progressively worse no matter how much I clean and oil it. They both function excellently yet but IMO youll get a lot longer life outof a Knight then you will a CVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest turkeyhuntr Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 The Knight is way better made than CVA. I owned a CVA for a couple of years and it started to pit and rust and I though it shot ok. I was at the range one day and a guy had a Knight it looked new so I was talking to him and the rifle was several years old and shot 1inch. groups. I went out and bought a Knight Disc Elite and after 5 years it still looks good and shoots very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I forgot, and it may not still be true but awhile back I bought a CVA sidelock and it never worked properly, the hammer was misaligned and didnt hit the nipple right, the gun wouldnt go off unless you tried the same cap repeatedly.CVA customer service screwed me around for 6 months and never did fix the gun, its collecting dust in a closet now. Same time frame my buddy had a Knight he had bought and owned for several years, one day he forgot to grease the breachplug and it siezed up, there was no getting it out.Despite being entirely his fault and on a gun they no longer produced Knight had him send it in and fixed the problem free of charge. Like I said its been awhile and both companies have changed in that period quite a bit but at the time this happened you were getting much better service from Knight then you could from CVA, just something to consider, they ay both have good CS now for all I know, hope I never have to find out:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Knight definately. I do not own a cva but if it is anything like the traditions which is made in the same plant, the cva will not hold a candle to the knight. My knight will outshoot any cva I have shot or have seen shot. My traditions has no trade in value either. Tried that when I bought the knight bighorn.

Guest decotathehunter Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 :oCome on people. Ive killed deer at 200 yards with a Cva. :eek:Luck shot but it reach and thats all that counts:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm not familiar with CVA, but It is hard to beat the quality and dependability of a Knight if you ask me. My Knight will shoot a 3 shot group inside a 50 cent piece at 100 yards...and of the 2 Knights I own, I've never had a mis-fire. One gun was loaded for 4 months and still fired a bulls-eye at the range when I went to unload it. The Knight also brought down my biggest buck ever.....a 40 yard shot with only a 4" hole through the brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
