Or you can call Knight and get in touch with Garry M. and he can sell you one of the few that are left + you can additional or different options.

Talked to one guy at Knight and his didn't shoot any better then his super disc. Another guy messaged me on the forum he wasn't overly excited about it either. Mountaineers in either caliber are obsolete. A super disc with a Lehigh conversion is equal if not better. To me it's better actually. Bring out a 1/20 in an Ultralite they won't stay on the shelves. Just plain facts Knight just didn't understand.

I was talking with Gary and I tried telling him this. He told me that they had no plans to release a 1:20 in an Ultralite. The problem is that they will take this failure of the fast twist Mountaineer and say, "See, there is no market for a fast twist .45 hunting rifle."

I wouldn't classify it as a failure of a fast twist . I actually like the Mountaineer . I have no desire for an ultra lite
And they sold all 25 without even letting anybody know they had them , and without advertising them. How is that a failure ?

Not a failure, but I don't think its an adequate test either. If they wanted to see if there was a market for a fast twist .45, they needed to let people know they actually have them for sale by putting them on the site.
