Some Teasers

What do lead times look like? I want one, but only if I can get it before going back to school in July. Otherwise I'll have to wait until after graduation.

I am in for one of these for sure. Going to need to find the cash though! Its a 50% deposit of whatever your rifle ( options included) costs then the rest when the rifle is finished, correct?

That is correct. All Modern Varmint orders will be processed through our website which will appear very similar to our new modern hunter order form found here: http://albertatacticalrifle.com/modern-hunter

We can absolutely still help people in the store to pick out options and guide you through the checkout process.

Cheers,
Shaun

We are optimistic that that late spring 2016 delivery's will start to happen, but until we have written confirmation from the SFSS?RCMP we are stalled on full production. In the meanwhile we will testing the crap out of the few guns we are just finishing off right now.
 
If that's the case, you'll probably have a deposit, as long as delivery would be before summer. Fingers crossed, I'll be happily following along!

Edit: would i be able to take this into the USA? I remember that the MH was classed as a weapon of war, so they couldn't be sold in USA. But does that also effect temporarily importing?

Yes the design cost, but also the neck on the line considering our new Liberal Federal Government. What would the market for this be if they go restricted? ATRS has balls so big they need a wheelbarrow to carry them around. Even at a $3200 price point they are not getting rich here. Top end materials, costly machinery, and skilled talented people are not cheap.

The MH is approved for temporary import into the USA, along with our AT15. Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that the Modern Varmint should also be alright for temporary import.

If you let the fact that there is a Liberal majority stop you from doing what you love, then you've already given up and surrendered, without them even having to pass the legislation that you're so afraid of. I personally intend to make them fight for every inch of my freedoms that they intend to take.

Sean, please re-read nowarningshot's post above. Does his post sound like someone who has surrendered, who is afraid? IMHO it was one of the most complimentary posts directed at ATRS on this entire thread...FWIW, I agree 100% with it :d

Can you post the groupings you guys are getting? For that price I'd expect at least 1 moa. The modern hunter was more accurate than the xcr-m but not by much with it jamming a bit more than the xcr. Most of the groups I saw and got were 1.5 moa with the occasional moa grouping.

Would you guarantee a 1 moa accuracy like larue or Christensen arms since you are in that price range?
 
I am sure with the quality invested in those rifles, you can bring them to average sub MOA performance... JP.

First you're talking about spring 2016, now before summer 2017?

Just curious, as there is lots of sales coming soon and would like to have some money around for a pre-order if needed. Then again, don't want to tie up close to 2k, if the rifle is going to be 1.5 years away.

Well having a modern hunter and talking with others with one and seeing groups posted there have not been a consistent number of guns consistently shooting sub moa. I can shoot sub moa easy with other rifles but the best I've managed is moa and consistently around 1.5. I've had a friend who shoots quarter inch groups try and get around what I am.

Don't get me wrong if the varminter is shooting one moa or close I'll get one but your paying a premium price. A gun that will likely be close to 4K should be consistently producing 1 moa groups. Other companies guarantee it in that price range.

Well said!

The guys in the shop (Shaun) worked me through the options and helped spec out the best setup for me. I was suitably impressed. I'm in on the MH Varmint whenever they will sell me one. It's only money.....
 
Time for some hand loads. . Factory ammo just isn't consistent enough.
I'm around .75 - .8 moa, very new to reloading and I haven't tried anything exotic for bullets or powder.
As far as jamming, if I stick to the Asc pistol mags mine is perfect and 4 rounds in the 5 round Asc mags. 0 jams to date with those 2 options. Gen 2 pmag with be my third choice at the moment.
If you want some simple load data, or see some targets feel free to pm me

I'm also wondering what's up with this. Summer 2017????
Those two quotes are talking about two different things. One quote is talking about the time frame when they will be allowed to be imported to the USA ( summer of 2017 ) , the other quote is talking about Canadian sales and when the first batch would possibly be ready for delivery to you. ( late spring 2016 ).
