As far as costs go , on this rifle compared to say a AR15 style , I look at how much hard stuff there is machined , and given that Aluminium is easy and CM steel is hard , you should always be able to make a AR type cheaper than a rifle that uses steel as the receiver , so a AR is cheaper to make than a boltgun , generally , hard metals always going to be longer/harder to machine , in time & wear .

How will this rifle compare to the Savage 110ba? I have a feeling there will be some 110s up for sale when this is released and rather than buy the newest but unproven rifle maybe i will take a used savage for a good deal and spend the rest on ammo?
I'd say they are completely different.
I've rarely heard exceptional things from the 110BA other than the price was reasonable.
This benefits from being versatile using the massive availability of AR components.
Accuracy? As far as I can see is unknown. So few out there, and test units are likely not "factory run". Ie, they aren't a good sample of what the final product will be.
I was excited to see the offering. I'm sure it'll be a good gun. Exceptional? Maybe not. I like the calibre choices and price point.

Sorry i meant the 10BA not 110BA not sure if that makes a difference but i have not read anything but great things about the 308. version. Still not sure what way to go but in the end im sure either rifle is more than capable for my shooting anyways. Cheers
One gun reviewer I often read is Joe at realguns.com. His review of the Ruger Precision Rifle was full of the technical discussion of the various parts etc. But there was something that kind of seemed odd compare to his usual format. Generally there's a part 1 with tech evaluation etc and part 2 with shooting and handloading. I waited over a week for part 2 until I reread it carefully.
Just before he reviewed the RPR he had a short article called "the NOT inherently accurate 6.5 Creedmoor" Then I realized early in the Part 1 of the RPR review the load data was the same as the Not accurate post.
Here's the RPR review http://www.realguns.com/articles/726.htm
Here's the Not Inherently accurate article http://www.realguns.com/articles/729.htm
The long and the short is he couldn't get better than 3/4-1 MOA with the Factory 120gr or 140gr loads in the RPR, HOWEVER with handloads he was able to get 1/2MOA or better.
I found it very interesting especially since the availability of brass etc has come up often in this discussion, and the premise of the Creedmoor was "off the shelf rifle, off the shelf ammo, go compete"
I wonder if Bashaw has any Vanguard 2s in 6.5 Creedmoor left??????

Why would you think any rifle caliber is the 'be all, end all caliber' for ANY gun?
There is no miracle gun or caliber. .5 MOA, in my opinion, is very good and most guns/shooters cant retrieve those results consistanly. (check threads on this forum to see how many people actually can)
Not saying run out and buy one of these, but hell, give me any gun that I can tune to .5 easily. I'll be happy.
