Knight Muzzleloader Scam

[IDAbowhunter]

Hey everyone, just wanted to warn everyone about my recent experience with Knight Rifles. I ordered a Knight Ultralite several weeks ago. After doing my research, it seemed like an exceptional muzzleloader that complies to my states (Idaho) regulations. I received an order confirmation from them, but no tracking number or estimated shipping date. I understand that there are supply chain issues etc. but a heads up that the rifle isn't in stock would be nice. I have reached out to them several times since via email and the "contact us" form on their website. NO REPLY. I have called the only phone number that I could find, and it is disconnected. As a last ditch effort, I tried contacting them through their Facebook page. Still no reply. I then wrote a review similar to this on their Facebook page, and they deleted it immediately. I paid over $1000 for a muzzleloader that, at this point, Im not even sure is going to show up at all, and they still will not respond. Extremely dissapointing conduct from "Americas Muzzleloader".

They have banners on all of their rifles pages that tells you they are mostly several weeks out on building and shipping.

Whats the website address you ordered from? I've been seeing alot of copycat scam sites recently. It could be possible you ordered from a copycat site.

I have always had great experience with Knight. Their revenue estimated is around 4.5mil a year. You sure they are trying to get you for 1K? Is the email going to your spam folder?

Ill second this. I ordered a muzzleloader from them back in late 2020 and it took almost 3 months to ship. They're slow.

However, I didn't have issues contacting their customer service. I got a shipping notification but no tracking number. I reached out and someone picked up. Its weird their number isn't working

Just to clarify, you did not order from Knight directly? You ordered from a third party site?

Reason I’m asking is I bought an older Knight LK93 from a private party and contacted Knight by email with several questions and received a an email reply, the next day. Ordered some other stuff from them directly, two different times and received merchandise in about 10 days or less each time.

I always find it interesting when someones first post is a complaint about a company. I realize the OP joined in 2015 but this is his first post.

I ordered parts from them a few months ago. Zero issues.

I got a new mountaineer 8 months ago, direct from knight. Showed up a month sooner than they said it would. I have bought bullets, accessories from them several times since, all good. One tech question I emailed in took a few days to get a response, but thats not crazy in today's customer service world

I have had nothing short of excellent customer service from Knight whether purchasing or seeking technical support...

Please keep us informed of this and I and a hunting buddy are both considering ordering a new Knight. Thanks!

My rifle came missing a part and it took about a month and 4 texts to the boss to get the part but it all worked out and it is a great shooter. I’d buy another.

1 post on the 17th and has not been back since the 18th.

Interesting.

I ordered my Knight UL on June 3rd. It was shipped by the 10th and delivered by the 14th.

And they answered a barrage of questions from me beforehand.

I'd trust Knight over this OP.

Well the rifle did arrive, and I have to say it is very high quality. Built very well and bullet holes are touching at 100 yards. There was a delivery mixup, and Knight was quick to remedy the situation once I finally got ahold of them. Not sure what the deal was with that, but I am very happy with the rifle now that it is in my hands!
Sorry for the drama, but Knight contacted me because of this post, so I guess it worked.

@IDAbowhunter

Good to hear it all worked out.

The word "SCAM" in your 1st-ever post is not a word to just toss around lightly when referring to any company. There is a huge difference between what's perceived as poor customer service and SCAM, which can be construed as FRAUD.

I would suggest that as your 3rd post, that it would be courteous for you update your first post with the above info to amend it.
