Do you have any list of cartridges for the XS ? Tell them I want 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel.

Do you know what are the differences between the Quest and the Quest Ultra ?
I see the Ultra has a carbon barrel but what else ?
I'm looking for 300PRC.
And what's the story with 28 Nosler ? Is it the new "modern 7mm" ?

Finally, do they all come with muzzle brakes ? (The gun your mates don't like)

Hi

Yes the peak is the new Carbonlight. In XS you will only see .223. Unfortunately the 6ARC and Grendel wouldn’t sell 1/100th of the total number of units required to do R&D, production change etc etc.

On the Quest, yes Ultra refers to the carbon barrel. This barrel will show up in other models later down the track as well. Ie the Peak and S20.
300PRC is a hard one with huge initial demand and now a very steep decline. The 28 Nosler surprised everyone to be honest, but is good to see another option. Shows the power of the US market and their demands. For that reason alone I wouldn’t count out 300 PRC but is a 50/50 chance and I have not heard anything at our end.

Quest Ultra and Peak come with brakes.
