    stability. On its own, this is a good thing because it keeps things, well, stable

    repeatability. this keeps the group sizes down. one shot accuracy is ok, but repeatedly accurate is a more noble goal.

    less recoil. some people want to talk all big about how they can shoot Oerlikons one handed, but the rest of us like to have lower recoil when possible.

    I also understand the want for a light weight rifle for long treks.

    8lbs before a scope ect is too heavy IMO. if it came in more potent calibers I could see it, but I have no need for a 9+lb 308. My 270 weighs 8lb 4oz with 4 in the mag, a sling, and a scope mounted to a one piece rail, and I don't want anything heavier unless it's recoiling more. Now, if it was a 300wm, or 35 Whelen I'd be ok with the weight but not for a 308.

    So what's the difference between this and say, the 700 aac-sd?

    Looks like this one should be in dealers hands possibly around end of may May for the .308 and .223 and end of June for the 6.5 and 300BLK.

    This is an estimate only

    I'm not really a short barrel advocate for bolt action rifles but I think this would make a great side by side beater gun in 308.
