Title: MK-85 Came in Today
Post by: Sabotloader on April 26, 2012, 08:12:54 PM: I am not sure why I bought this but at this point I think I am really glad... Got a great price on the auction and now that it is here I can not prove that it is not a NIB...

Nothing looks used.... the breech is spotless, even the tip of the ram rod is perfectly clean - no powdere smuge no stains... Even the box is in great shape...

I really believe the hood is a sight aid... when you look trough the hole setup - it kinda looks like you are looking through a 1x scope...

Shoots unbelievable to 200 yards, with a scope further. :tup: I bought a Disc Extreme but it sits in the safe cause I always grab the predator. Gotta love a Knight. :tup:

I would agree with that. It deffinetly helped me with my grouping. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the mk-85

Post by: iRem on May 12, 2012, 07:35:48 PM: I was looking to get a ML for next year and was hoping to be able to get into some prime hunts and draw a multi season for elk. For that price I would buy two one for my self and for my son. Just don't know much about them and what to look for.

Congrats. You ever want to sell it I'll give ya profit and still be happy. :chuckle: I've had mine since the first year they came out with it. Bought a new Disc Extreme but still use the predator, it just shoots better. :tup: Fell in love with the Knights and at present I have five. :tup:

Have fun shooting your new find, Lucky. :chuckle:

Post by: Wacenturion on June 02, 2012, 12:23:38 PM: Nice. I might be mistaken, but I believe I read somewhere that the model number....MK-85 was in reference to his daughter, perhaps Mary or similar born in 85'. Maybe someone here knows the specifics.

A quote from Tony Knight to a friend of his..
