    30-06 is available but not on initial shipment due to market demand. Our sample is actually a 30-06.
    All one length to allow for calibre conversion

    Looks interesting, very blaser like, the left/right ability will appeal.

    $2500 in Aust
    @mcche171 when you change calibers do you need a new magazine? Also when you finally get your hands on it can we arrange a look/demo at the Handloaders?

    So, ambidextrous, with interchangeable barrels? Sounds well thought out. I really don't like the safety though. I can't help but think of an accute case of scope eye...

    How does the barrel work? Is it just a barrel extension that a normal threaded barrel screws into?
    Will there be a million different calibre options be available like with the Blaser R8/R93?

    Sorry for slow reply. I have been at a clay comp all weekend. Conversion kits are being priced as we speak and should be released in the next couple of weeks.

    Yesh...I thought the same. How much of a hit would it take for that to bend downwards?..then that would impact the bolt operation...But then you'd have to be unlucky to drop it upside down while the bolt was removed..and then your scope would be most likely buggered since that would hit first anyway.

    I finally managed to grab a screenshot of the fire control on this thing. Clearly a hammer swinging through 90 odd degrees, AR style hammer spring propelling it. You can see the safety gubbins frame like thing hanging down on the left, looks like a basic trigger block. So as I mentioned on veitnamcams thread, no de-cocking and no half bolt so not really in line with expectations for safe carrying with one up the spout.

    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
