The Modern Varmint rifle

[alberta tactical rifle]

Is .223 Wylde 1:8 twist an option?

Yes it is standard equipment

If you decide to offer other calibers in future, I am interested in 30 AR, 450 Bushmaster, 50 Beowulf and 7.62x39 as are many others.

Don't hold your breathe.

Just curious as to why the varminter will cost less than the hunter?

Same reason AR15 parts cost less than AR10 parts. More availability and lower cost in general.
We can escalate the pricing upwards if requested.

Writing another history. I'm impressed. When will the preorder begin ?

Not sure as to when, now it is in the hands of the SFSS?RCMP

No piston systems will be offered.

Any idea on weight of the rifle?

With a 18.6" heavy contour stainless barrel 8 lbs.
Once we get time to build more with the barrel options we intend to offer we can advise weights. Much will depend on the furniture as well. I would suspect a just over 6 lb rifle could be built however.

Just curious, if this rifle was just the modern hunter, but in .223 rem would it instantly be able to be produced without having to get an entire new model accepted by the lab rats? Or are there too many differences ( size, weight, dimensions etc.) that it needs to be its own model entirely? Just curious how this works.

Yes IF it were simply an alternate cartridge to an existing rifle. The problem is that the 223 is scaled down and uses a smaller mag, ergo it is a different gun, despite being identical but smaller. This then makes it a different model, so an inspection is required, not by law I want to point out as the FRT is NOT law, but it does make everyone safer from persecution.
The legal system when it comes to firearms is so badly broken and perverted, don't even try to figure it out, you will only go insane, or NDP.

If the Modern Varminter ends up being close to $3500 there will be a a lot of Tavors, ACR,s and XCR's for sale.
Match grade barrel with a 223 Wylde chamber? Just awesome.
Hopefully ATRS can keep the overall weight reasonable.

Apples and Oranges. Those three were not designed to be precision hunting rifles. I'm sure the MV will be high quality and likely more accurate, but when SHTF I will definitely grab one of the other three.

I'll have a MV to compliment my ACR lol. I also agree that .204 ruger would be a cool calibre. I'm pumped to get in on the pre order for this!

Did you mean to say close to 2500? Because the MH is already 3500 to start, and the MV is slated to be less expensive(though not sure by how much). At a thousand dollars more expensive(if it was 3500), I cant see it bleeding off too many buyers, any more than the Tavor is cutting into the T97's market, or the XCR 7.62x39 cutting into the VZ58's.

Would dearly love to see it closer in price to the other NR .223's, would be great to see an accurate canadian product really take off.

Would .204 Ruger be an option?

THAT is a viable option that we are considering.
