IIRC Field and Stream picked the MK85 as the 32nd best rifle ever made. This included center fires too. Anyone that has ever shouldered one and pulled the sweet REAL 2.5lb Timney trigger could probably see why it ranked so high.
The entire package came together very well and by the time it got that rank Knight had sold a huge amount of them. Mine had over a 89XXX serial.
