More or less, with a different method of attachment, an alloy receiver etc, the trigger that can slide back and forth was quite a nice touch.

They say they have a patent pending design on the rifle. I do not know what are the details of the patent but it surely can’t be on how the barrel is fixed as that has been done by sauer and rosler decades ago among other manufacturers ( pgm, dsr, unique, voere…)

It reminds me of an x bolt at first glance
Must be something to do with the bottom metal unsure can’t put my finger on it. I find it ugly still not hybrid ugly but ugly non the less but practical and functional is far more important than how it looks I’m sure it’ll be a big hit over their

Did they say 'Aluminium receiver'?....

Ima get behind something solid while YOU shoot your warm loads using this.

The bolt locks into the barrel extension so what the 'receiver' is made from is not really that critical ...

Its a mix of all the quick change rifles. innovative in its own right. but defiantly some hardy rifle , ai, desert tech themes. Going on. they could have named it something more original. element optics wont be happy.

Expected it to cost a lot more than $5.3k...

Considering how much certain components cost (TT trigger, carbon stock, rail mounting systems for scope/bipod/tripod) it almost seems like a good deal...

Kicker will be how much they want for new barrels/extentions.

The hybrids are an alloy reciever, and alloy bolt body. Extremely light weight, yet with the bolt head locking in on the barrel extension they can withstand high pressures so the aluminum construction is taking minimal pressure. The sliding trigger on the nexus however is a great touch. Would love it if the trigger techs had that feature

what does a hybrid weigh?

Im surprised the sliding/ adjustable trigger hasn’t been done before on a rifle, Shotguns have had that for years .
I’ve been interested in their rifles for a while now ( just interested, no intention to buy ) and the CLYMR model is what takes my fancy.
The stock on this new one doesn’t really do it for me , the leather overlays and the Arca rail bottom metal are not necessary in my world .
The company is quite impressive, they have over time moved from a rifle component assembler to manufacturing just about every component themselves, they even make their own optics which is the Revic brand .
I say good on them and I hope they do well .

interesting with some features that will appeal to some shooters . . but leaning to much into the tactical / LR style for my liking.

maybe in time they will have a Hunter, Varmint, Tactical stock option . . good luck to them

Regarding the trigger shoe adjustment, timney had that on their bench rest model, rifle basix or Jard also had that ( I own one of each) and certain competition rifles like the anschutz must have had that as well. And I wonder if the Sako s20 hasn’t got it as well now.

The two initial cartridges are 6.5 PRC (COAL up to 2.955") and 300 PRC (COAL up to 3.700"), so presumably they have two action lengths in production ?
