Speak for yourself. I think it looks very cool, nice to see some original ideas applied to bolt action guns for a change.

Anything over the cost of about a Cooey 60=I'd never buy without handling first. Considering how new this model is, I'll be watching accuracy reports with great interest.

You're retarded if you would pay that kind of money for a cope bolt action rifle.

I don't see it as a cope gun at all. It isn't supposed to pretend to replace an AR/Semi.
I see it as a 5lb "scout style" rifle with a ton of optic options and piles of rail space for bi/tri-pod mounting, game cam, light and a cheap versatile cartridge to boot.
 
Say what you want about the side feed and weird buttstock angle, not to mention the folding function that is offset to make it 25% shorter and twice as wide, we do need more Bolt option 223's that take AR mags so we can use the stockpiles that the TURD has stranded us all with.
I applaud the effort but,........
The price tag is ridiculous so I'm way out on this one.

Think Ruger American barrelled action, MDT LSS XL (AR) chassis, MDT folding carbine stock, you are still well under 1600.
 
I just posted a question about this in the Black Rifle section, as a search somehow failed to show anything. Then I found this thread.

Typical CGN crap. "Oh my God...it's different!" "It's not an AR, therefore it's garbage!" blah, blah, blah....

One of my all-time favourite rifles is the Steyr Scout; I think that in the world of .308 bolt guns it is one of the all-around best choices in existence. I even have one in .223, but I can easily see turfing the Steyr .223 in favour of this gun. This thing is lighter, uses cheap mags...unlike the Steyr...honestly, the only thing I'm not sure about is the trigger. Need to learn more about that set-up, and ideally hold the gun before committing, but...right now, I love the idea of this thing. I have always hated a long AR-pattern mag dangling underneath a bolt gun...or any gun, for that matter.

It's weird; I am accustomed to being called a Fudd. I have zero use for AR's, based on much experience shooting them back in the day when they were nonrestricted, not because they are scary and black. But now, I like this rifle...and apparently that makes me a Range Monkey, whatever the hell that is.

You guys are funny.

Our H6 in its final version is nearing completion. We are looking forward to starting deliveries of our H6 bolt action rifle in December of this year. We would like to thank you for the incredible support and feedback we have received from end customers, dealers and practitioners since the beginning of 2023. We then adjusted the production plans for the H6, took requests and suggestions into account and are pleased to be able to inform you of all the innovations and changes that have been incorporated since then. We thank you for your support and patience and apologize for the long delivery time.

PRODUCTION
Due to increased demand, we have decided to manufacture all components in Germany at the HERA location in Lower Franconia/Bavaria, with the exception of the trigger. In the future, we will be able to implement short production times, consistent in-house quality management and cross-departmental cooperation. As with our other products, we rely on uncompromising quality made in Germany.

SYSTEM
The H6 system has an all-steel action, a one-piece bolt and a laser-welded bolt handle. The bolthead has a force-controlled T-extractor which enables both, safe extraction and maximum contact surfaces for the locking lugs. The security concept of a mini system was implemented without compromise in all points. Despite the steel construction, the additional weight was limited to approx. 200 grams. In addition, the final version of the H6 has a screwed barrel, which ensures both, an extremely rigid connection and enables repeatable adjustment of the head space. Due to the form- and force-fitted mounted picatinny rail, this results in a maximum level of rigidity which is reflected in the high level of precision that corresponds to the weapon.

TRIGGER
We are pleased to be able to win over the company RECKNAGEL, one of the most renowned companies in the weapons industry on the German market, to produce one of the core components of our H6 – the trigger. The RECKNAGEL company can look back on many years of experience in the development and production of high-precision triggers for various systems. The optimized H6 trigger has a safety that can be operated with the trigger finger and is probably one of the best standard triggers that can be installed, both technically and qualitatively. All triggers for our H6 system are manufactured by RECKNAGEL at their location in Lower Franconia/Bavaria.

Best Regards,

Thomas Noth

This latest post by North Sylva has made this gun much more interesting to me, because they seem to have a "normal" trigger now rather than some weird "better mousetrap" contraption as was shown in earlier pics.

Looking forward to following the progress of this rifle.

Reading this sentence from post above I am not so sure they've gone to a conventional trigger/safety set.

"the optimized H6 trigger has a safety that can be operated with the trigger finger"

Could mean cross bolt, for sure not tang or AR style safety from that description.

Look at the original pics of this rifle at the beginning of this thread; compare that goofy-looking apparatus inside the trigger guard to what is shown in these pics immediately above. Somebody in marketing came to their senses regarding what a shooter expects of a trigger, IMHO.

Along with that change, the newer version shows what appears to be a safety button above the rear of the trigger guard. It may not be ideal, but that location seems to be accessible to either the trigger finger or the thumb.

Personally, I think these changes to the fire controls make the gun way more appealing than it was before.

As an aside...looking at the before and after pics also seems to show that the barrel length has been shortened? Or is this just perspective?
