The new owners of Knight spent a lot of time asking what everyone wanted but at the same time had to look at what old stock they had and could turn into capital for future R&D/profit. You got to do something with all those barreled actions and Extremes were one of the most popular. The LRH is ok if you dont mind a larger rifle. Then they had the Extreme US prototype that everyone was dying to get.

Patience grasshopper, a mans got to make a buck and test the waters after such a large investment. I also dont think they wanted to compete with the break actions right away. They Know the Vision has potential and is somewhat unique.

They are also catering to what they liked in older Knights and what most Knight enthusiasts wanted....DISCs and a plunger gun that all have fully adjustable triggers. Personally i dont think they wanted to get into the rest of the market just yet. Many of the newer designs are considered to be what killed Knight but i still think the Vision wasn't that bad.

IMO the only strikeout is not offering a 45cal but i am very biased. CVA even announced more 45cal offerings and 45s are also the rage in the SML crowd atm. I THINK the reason they didn't offer one had more to do with lack of 45cal barrels after years of 50cal dominance in the market.
Points well taken GM. problem is the vast majority of the market wants break action type rifles lol. and Knight needs that to keep there heads above water. and i do agree with you also on the .45 cal offerings.. Ray
