It does take a few more minutes to remove and clean the bolt but after doing a few times its no big deal....My brother bought a Knight Disc with a 26 inch barrel the year before the Omega came out....He is the type to buy newer and bigger every few years...That might be my next "new" muzzleloader....Frankly I think Knight was crazy to quit making the original disc rifles....

Knight was smart... not crazy!Very few folkswant to spend around $400 on a ML bolt-action anymore. The bolt-craze ended the very dayeach ML manufacturer came outwith their own versions of break-actions.It also costscompaniesmore to produce a bolt-action vs a break action. Plus.... the manufacturer gets more complaints - resulting in more tech servicewith bolts because of their moving parts that increase blowby &gather powder & primer foulings.

In reality.... it was a no-brainer to either stop selling them (or) curtail assembly time significantly. I don't believe the bolt will go away for an eternity with the higher quality MLmanufacturers.... but their day as being a pioneer of this business is l-o-n-g gone.
