I just shot the Knight Elite .50 cal that I bought on discontinued clearance and I must say it is a sweet shooting, accurate rifle. I am surprised that Knight discontinued it. I put a Bushnell Trohpy red-dot scope on it (4 reticles in red and green) and it is a great set up for the woods. Has onyone else tried the Knight Elite .50 cal.?

I know several guys who've owned them and loved them. They are probably the most accurate Knight ever made. As to why they were discontinued, it was a dumb decision by Knight's corporate owners. I would have bought one myself if they had a Thumbhole stocked one.

There are some great deals on used Knight & T/C bolt-action MLs now. Many shooters are trading-in their MK-85s, Wolverines, Disc Rifles and Black Diamonds for the newer design break/fall-action MLs.
Knight & T/C found out there is a real small buyers market for new bolt-actions selling betwwen $300-$500. The best evidence of that is recent production suspensions at White Rifles and Austin-Halleck.

I will never sell my .54 cal Knight MK-85! I converted it to 209 primers. It knocks the poop out deer! Knight erred when it dumped the .54 for the .52 cal IMHO. But I must say the Knight Elite is sweet! and Knight erred when it dumped that rifle too. I load the Elite with .475 cal Barnes bullets and 100 gr. of 777. Its a killer!

All the Knight rifles are good. I have a Bighorn that I hunted oncce in a pretty good rain. The percussion cap went off OK, and I got the deer.

Knight Rifles is making a big error by trying to follow the crowd and not by utilizing what works. Keep the .54 and keep the Elite rifle too.
