Do they list the weight anywhere for this?
Anyone hear if they have plans for a lefty model?

Just a bit more then the Scout at 7lbs according to BCL's specs. It's strange that they list the Ranger as 1moa and the scout as 1.5moa.
As far as left models I haven't heard anything and I'd think they would be working on the other calibers before lefty models but who knows....
Question though. As a lefty is it difficult to keep your left hand (strong hand) on the pistol grip and use your right hand to work the bolt? Seems to me that a pistol griped bolt action rifle would be an advantage over a traditional stock for a lefty working a righty bolt action.

The problem for me is balance - typically there's just so much weight forward of the grip that it becomes pretty tiring pretty fast to try and hold the gun in the shoulder while cycling. That said I haven't tried it with a pistol grip specifically so I don't know if that would help. I do know that I have a tendency to want to point the rifle upwards to shift the center of gravity, but I don't like doing that because I prefer to keep my rifle level with my target just in case.

I remember watching Jeff from Gunlast doing that, he would tilt the rifle up and cant it to the left while working the bolt but that was with a traditional stock.
The shorter scout would be easier to balance one handed for sure but I bet the ranger wouldn't be too bad just canting the rifle a bit as you work the action.... worth a try I suppose if you can handle one at a local shop.

Yes, when I watched the video that was my impression as well, that it was a subtle (and at parts not so subtle) way to admit that there were issues in the past, and I liked that Mr. McIntyre did not gloss over some of the issues in their history. I also saw the focus on precision QC as a way to communicate "we hear your concerns and are addressing them specifically this way...". I thought it was a very refreshing and honest presentation, and one steeped in optimism for the future, recognizing the past, but not living in it.

I love the look of the gun but I just bought my Tikka 3x CTR as I wanted to beat the implementation of the expanded gun controls. Unfortunately, it's going to have to wait for now.

I don't know how feasible it would be for BCL, but I'd be stoked if it was possible to do a modified version of this gun but with a Remington 870 stock interface running a magpul SGA stock instead of the AR setup.

Jackal is 9.2 lbs. Without optics or accessories. Don't know about anyone else, but that's a heavy gun, from my perspective being shorter statured guy.
Bison is listed at 6.9 lbs, but that's base Bison.
