.................................................. I don't think I would hesitate to buy the current version of the Accura at Cabela's prices due to this bit of news. Nor would I consider buying this "V2" as an upgrade to my current Accura.........................................
I would rather they had simply redesigned the butt stock to be more aesthetically pleasing.

Myself, i am the kinda person that likes new and better products. The new gps i recently purchased is much much much more functional than the first gps i used. There are new tools in my shop that work better than older models. There are, however, 'new' things that are new, but perhaps not better.
If one is looking for an accurate rifle that doesn't cost several hundreds of dollars, the current Accura as currently priced by Cabela, is a heck of a deal, and knowing what i know, i would purchase one if i didn't already have one. If i needed a rifle, i wouldn't wait for the 'new' version to arrive.

"My concern is simple - the cost of replacement plugs will be much higher with the tool-free plugs as it has with the TC plugs for the Triumph and Endeavor. The prospect of using vent liners might become quite attractive economically."
Agree the 44 dollars for a replacement plug is a bit much and unnecessary. Mike and I have been working on the vent liners, I originally tried making some but with good ones available for 5 dollars that became inane. Now we have successfully installed and used them in Omega Triumph and Encore Endeavor. One of the things I have noted is that doing it the way we are; mike's idea of opening the flame channel all the way through has made a big difference in the amount of carbon deposited and I have note an improvement in long range group size. I would like to see some Knights and some of the CVA like the Accura have them installed and compare notes. I am wondering if this would be as big an improvement as it was for the guns we have tried it in so far? Lee

Not you BP - you are enthusiastic about your choices and I can't recall you ever sounding elitist about them or trashing anyone else's. All is good.
Did you ever get up to the Sausage Maker in Buffalo?

Just for information I have completed a couple of Knight's also - 2 FPJ's and one NFPJ. I am about to do a Knight Vison plug also. It is my feeling that the 'vent liner' and opening of the flame channel does have a direct effect on the reduction (not elimination) of blow back in the breech area with the Knight DISC.

I guess Lee just likes to play around and see if he can Improve things and make them better?

Couple of things...
1. I would call Lee a perfectionist (which I am not I settle for very good) - he really wants the best performance possible from what ever he has.
2. he is a retired gun smith - had his own business I think...
3. he is/was a bench shooting champion in his state - the man can shoot...
