A very interesting precision rifle that is made of a 7 series aluminium extrusion tube. Interchangeable calibre among 308, 338 Lapua M and 300 Win Mag. 3.5 lb trigger. I was shown zeroing targets where 3 shots were touching eaching other. The rifle is still in pre-production. The suggested MSRP is about 3000 USD. My only complaint is the magazine catch, which was a bit difficult to manipulate. Right now the barrel is regular 4140 and4150 CMV, but according to the staff stainless steel could be offered in the future.

Ahh yes the movie "Tremors" makes a come back!!! Always enjoyed the first one.

3K seems pretty steep for this rifle which still looks in prototype stage. I like bullpups but unless they clean it up a bit more and lower the price a lot I don't ever see one in my safe.
 
A $3000 dollar bull pup with caliber interchangeability and killer accuracy. A little more than a Savage . . . interesting !
 
I like it, but I don't like how extreme the fulcrum point is. I would prefer to have the bipod mounted as far forward as possible, not 6" from my hand. If I sneeze with it there I'd be all over the place.
 
I'd be interested if the 338LM was $3000. While that test target is nice, it's a 308 target. I've shot that with only 3 rounds using a stock 5R milspec at 1/3rd the price (using 168 Federal gold as well). It's usually the last two rounds that seem to open it up a bit.

It's an interesting rifle. The bullpup advantage will really be seen with the larger calibers requiring a longer barrel to get the most out of them. 300 WM, 338LM etc.
