Wolfy has it right mostly... they cut it because of the lack of sales. Which they attribute to it's lack of sights... I have never had a sabot shooter/bp sub shooter that was as accurate as the Elite. Now my Savage is just as accurate if not more so but I do not shoot anything but smokeless from it...

I think it just lacked a corporate push... because it was out of box boring accurate... especially the blued...

By the way... infrequent shooters like the FPJ... has the FPJ hurt sales? With TC's ad campaign? YEP!! But I found it a convenience in the field but an inconvenience on the range...
