Knight rifles

[JeffB1961]

I have put a rifle in my cart at the knight site, and ordered some .52 caliber sabots and a .52 brush, but most of the cost is the vision freedom for 199.99$. The other day they wanted 30something dollars for shipping. I ran out of time the other day so I was gonna order it today, and the bill was 435.??$. So I looked it up. The shipping had changed in a couple days to 180.00$, I hadn’t changed a thing in my cart? Anybody know why that would be the case. I tried calling but they say call volume is too high to answer the phone. They said to email, and I’m having trouble with my email now, so I can’t do that!

it shows me $45 shipping to 24609 .

i don't see a .52 option for the vision , only .50 cal , but you said you got .52 cal sabots and brush ...... ?

Yea I bought a mountaineer in .52 back in December and since I was going to buy a gun thought I would get a couple other things!

Something UPS did not long ago was change all their rules for shipping firearms. We used to be able to ship a rifle, bullets and some accessories in one box. That is no longer allowed. We were forced to get additional accounts. A rifle has to ship on one account, and only rifles are allowed. Any item that is a rifle "part" like a scope mount must ship on another account. An item that is not firearm related, say a T shirt must ship on another account. We have 3 accounts now which means more shipping costs and wasted packaging. Maybe Fedex is doing similar crap to their customers.

Blackpowder weapons are NOT regulated as "firearms" under federal law, so the UPS policy change shouldn't have any effect on shipping BP arms...

Remember, tho, UPS is a private company and can make policies different from US laws. I always ship MLs thru the USPS and they have no problem at all with it.
