There is almost no appreciable difference between 18.6" and 20" for velocity. For example, Colt Canada doesn't even make a 20" MRR. ...They also want to keep the carbine-length gas system, which is only reliable up to 18.6", but that's unrelated lol.
For that price I am definitely interested in a Modern Varminter. I need a non-restricted semi-auto rifle with a longer barrel and this is cheaper than a full-sized B&T APC223.
Very good to hear! 2750 is very reasonable considering even the cheap bolt guns are now in the 8-9 hundred range. That said I'll have to wait for tax return season next year to order one! Still good to see a Canadian manufacturer offering these! Does anyone know if king optics Canada has plans for a tactical scope so I can have an all canadian rifle? (Mostly)

In theory with the right furniture and parts, yes. The FSB will most likely be the problem. We are still looking at what options the barrel supplier has to offer us.

They should run anything an inexpensive AR will run. Accuracy and reliability are deeply related to quality of ammo.

Since we started manufacturing our own actions and lowers in 2008 we have been proactive and started producing all of our serialized parts UN compliant from day 1. We felt it would only be a matter of time until Canada elected some moron to ruin the country and adopt this bucket of useless stupidity.

So with the new barrels, would it be feasable now to get one done with a A2 style foregrip and sight? Even if that ended up being a custom order, would it be feasable with the barrel profile?

Crosses fingers...
Are you guys for real, we get a cheaper MV and you're still crying about the price... Just go buy some chinese junk and leave this thread. ( I wish I had infraction points left to tell you guys how I really feel ...lol...)
A big thumbs up to ATRS for making this happen
Here here!
I was never that impressed with the modern hunter/varmint rifles - not because they are not awesome, but because they were so expensive(or I'm so broke. Lol). Being the same price as other high quality NR 223 rifles is a big plus.
I'm still trying to figure out what my first big purchase will be when I graduate at the end of the year. I always told myself I was going to get a decent car or truck, but this may have changed my mind...

Why not just buy the currently available base model then? It would only be like 200 difference due to the buffer system.
I think Rick is pretty firm on the factory model only having 1 consumer option, that being a collapsible or fixed stock. Anything else would constitute a 'custom' build.
I guess you're correct. I will be buying a varmint model to match my MH - just can't figure out if I should buy the base model in 6.5 grendel or this "factory" option. I want it to be as accurate as possible without breaking the bank since I went to town on my MH already.

Good job ATRS. Look how many AR and NR-AR style rifles just went up on EE yesterday.
I truly think you should make more than 1 "factory" configuration though. Maybe 1 Light weight chrome lined, 1 heavy accurate one. You might be able to eat into the NR rifle sales with more configuration.
But then if doing "custom" is what you think you want to focus on, it's none of my business to advise you otherwise. I truly hope you'd be able to go toward "mass producing" these MVs in shorter time.

We already offer a base model rifle but it comes with the Matchgrade barrel and JP buffer system. The base model rifle IS available in 6.5 Grendel but there is an up charge for the much more expensive bolt assembly.
The "Factory" rifle is 223/556 ONLY.
