Calibers - Other calibers might follow but we don't know yet
Price - Will be up to the dealers and will depend on the US exchange rate at the time.
Left Hand - Unlikely at this time.
Rails - 0 MOA rail and you can add an M-LOK rail up front on the top to run iron sights

The only advantage to the 300bo is the ability to use subsonic rounds, but with no suppressors in Canada that advantage means nothing.
Incorrect.
Suppressed or not, when fired, a subsonic round is significantly quieter than a supersonic one. Yes you could load down the 308win to shoot subsonic, but with a 1:12 or 1:10 twist barrel (in my experience) it won’t stabilize much over 150g. The faster twist barrel on a 300blk gives you much better performance with regards to subsonic shooting.
The 308 will have a 1 in 10" twist and it will certainly stabilize bullets up to 180gr. Also FWIW this guy did some ballistics testing on short 308 barrels: https://rifleshooter.com/2016/02/30...-length-and-velocity-a-six-inch-308-bolt-gun/
Agree,
A 1:10 will stabilize a 220gr no problem, But in my experience with testing, weights over 150gr suffered in the stability and accuracy department when shot at subsonic speed.
I suspect that a 12 1/2" .308 with a M-4 type stock might be a bit on the nasty side, as far as recoil goes. Putting on a brake will help with the recoil, but it might be a bit on the rude side when it comes to blast.
Sounds like you are going to need a lot of 308s gravel!
We've had some of our dealers put a few on order so far, but by the response we've had, they might need more!!
