Some interesting features in their new rifle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COCtZUDKohE
So theyve just made a hardy hybrid in america. Thats essentially what it is
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.Quote:

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

Expected it to cost a lot more than $5.3k... :o
Considering how much certain components cost (TT trigger, carbon stock, rail mounting systems for scope/bipod/tripod) it almost seems like a good deal... :ORLY:
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 featureQuote:

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 ?
I'm all for innovation but that is ugly as shit. Must have a retarded centre of balance too if you have to carry it like old mate in the picture there...
Yep agreed. It seems there's several new rifle models going for this design style.Quote:

Or they are making a glorfied Tikka T3 :oQuote:

Just to double up on this line of thought, presumably Gunwerks is monitoring this thread by now:
A user switch barrell will be most useful if you can change applications with significantly different cartridges in the same action size. For example, 204 / 223 / 224valkyrie / 6mmARC / 6.5 Grendel / 300BLK sub/ 50 Beowulf. Another example would be 257AI / 7x57 / 8x57. Could a local gunsmith make up a barrell for you in your favoyrite eccentric chambering ?
Another point is that the magazine, feed and ejection ought to have some tolerance for varying cartridges, particularly different bullet weights that need to be fed by the mag spring (eg 80 gr 243 to 180 gr 308).
