Yep, they didnt really sell that many and it wasnt profitable for them. Knight probably sold more MK-85s.

Henry Ball and his son will be making some though and its no big deal to have PacNor or SMI make a 40 45 or 50cal barrel for a variety of centerfires. They will shoot on par or better than a Savage any day and some dont weigh 10lbs or more with a scope.

Mr. Ball actually owns the patent rights, not Savage. They didnt want to renew the rights to it.

Prices are already through the roof if you can find them still. Most places have already sold out except for some mom and pop shops. I could make an easy $200 on mine right now.
