Very fancy Knight. I have a stainless black synthetic stock MK 85 that i bought new when they first came out. Best ML i have had so far out of 5. I have the conversion kit for musket caps and the one for 209 primer. Shot a deer every year with that rifle. Bought a new rolling block and was real disapointed with after 5 shots i had to send in the trigger mechanism for repair. Reall more sad when i found out they are out of business. Now i have a new Accura so see how well it works out. MK85's were leading rifles in their years but Knight just wasn't the same after Tony sold it. I will keep my old MK 85 as a backup. Just more work to clean than the newer rifles. Also not as easy to cap the primers. Always hated the plastic cap holders they used. One more thing to forget and mess with. That is a beautiful stock. When they first came out some had warping from the snow and i hunt in snow so i ordered the synthetic. Mine now has a hairline crack by the safety. Very minor but is the reason i hate plastic things over time. They just didn't keep up with the times and got kind of left in the dust of other manufacters. Too bad. Love your gun.
