Quite Expensive at $1600.00 I can't see what justifies such a high price It's still a Knight a Mountaineer or long range hunter will probably do everything the Peregrine will do

Got a call from their engineer today, looks like it’s now in the market.
Carbon fiber stock, gun weighs 7.2#
MSRP $1569
Sorry, I didn’t ask about your specific question.
Within our conversation he stated 3000 fps was with a 225gr.
I am getting 1600fps with a 425gr conical over 52grW BH209 - lol

Yes! I agree $1600 is a ton of money for it, but everything has sky rocketed in price this past year!

Exactly. Guys are to used to paying $200 for a CVA Wolf at Wal-Mart.
If they think $1600 is expensive they should buy a custom. Many of the top quality scopes cost $1600+ Rifle Scopes | Leupold
Quality in this game is not cheap......

Well, I want one, but I'm torn between it and the Whitworth I've wanted for decades. Dammit!

Knight wont reply to requests on their FB page about load data. They did mention using Fury and Hornady bullets. The only 40 sabotless/BH209 data that looks like it might be legit is for the Paramount Pro or HTR that TB shot. 150gr by volume and a 225gr PB ELR gave him 2710fps.
Consider this, in the 40cal Encores with a 1" barrel guys are not getting 3000fps with smokeless. You probably could with enough barrel length and a slow enough powder. Loads like that are more common for full 1.2ish" shank guns. These Encore barrels are about a grand using a HIS/ASG type LRMP primer module.
The weight claim of the Peregrine leads me to think its not larger than 1" and a light contour. Much lighter barrel than what is being used on the Paramount. Since the Paramount is loosely based on a Rem700 it could easily be 1.2" or slightly larger and its not getting 3000fps using the Variflame. So how is a 209 rifle getting it?
Ummmmm.... Great f'ing question!

What I want to know is if the Peregrine stock will fit on any of the other Knights. I've wanted exactly that design stock for a while now. But the Peregrine itself isn't even close to "street legal" for ml in Idaho. I've asked this question to Knight, but the haven't gotten back to me.
