Personally I hope Knight just keeps it small. And does not try to compete with the cheap rifles, and does not try to compete with the advertising of TC.

When Knight first came out their rifles(MK 85) were revolutionary. YES. But more important-their rifles were pure quality. Top notch triggers, the best barrels, and good stocks. they were just good quality rifles.

Then they went the way of the marketers. They let people convince them that their rifle was harder to clean. After all it did take 30 extra seconds to remove the bolt?? And people fell for that crap.

Personally I still think the MK-85 is one of the finest rifles still available on the market today. However they will not command the price they did when they first started making them.

It is a shame, but to make a quality product in America is difficult to do at a good price. I hate to see it, but Knight is probably again doomed to failure. Just not enough market out there. And not enough money to compete with TC in the advertising game. Tom.
