Personally I agree with all three of you, the MK is really a classic as well as being a quality rifle. But as pointed out with the Big Horn in existance i am not sure they could afford to make the MK again.

I do remember someone mentioning possibly making a limited run of MK's. I can not remember if it was someone connected with Knight or just one of us dreaming.

I believe one of the switches that moved the MK off line and to the new model LK was the redesign of the MK receiver. Was the receiver change that opened it on both sides to allow the rifle to be used by both right and left handed shooters?

If nothing else I would like to see Knight offer the Big Horn in the shorter 24" barrel - but then I guess you would be back to the LK or Wolverine.

I would also guess that the Wolverine may have gone away because we all thought we had to have the 'magnum' rifle with the longer barrel that became so popular and remains popular today.

So in essence - I have no answer!
