Lemme guess…

It needs some wood furniture… pro mag usability… iron sights…. and terrible accuracy…

Then you’d like it… correct?
It does need wood furniture and not look like an erector set for simpletons. I really do wish you would get over your Promag fetish though. They are cheap, work okay and will do until I can afford better. Sights are probably the best looking part of this rifle.

Looks like they've been been working on this since at least 2015. I'd say they were ahead of Q and Sig at least in concept.

In 2015 it was supposed to be 300WM.
In 2020 it was supposed to be 308 and come with a 10" barrel, a 20" barrel and a brace.
Now it hits the market as a full size rifle with a caliber swap.

Yeah I definitely don’t have a pro mag fetish. I buy OEM magazines.

That what I have. All the first ones were sold as pistols. The caliber change is the same on all of them though. It shoots easy sub-MOA all day.

Maybe I’m out of touch but why the calibers of 22-250 and 243? Maybe if I knew the twist rate of these barrels but, if they have the same twist as most manufacturers it’s not fast enough for ELD/VLD bullets. They don’t even offer a 6mm creedmoor or anything in 6mm other than the 243.

I’d rather spend my money on something like this with a 3/8moa guarantee.

+1. 22 Creedmoor and 6mm Creedmoor would’ve made a lot more sense in this day and age
