The MSRP is $1399 and if the street price is a little lower, looks
like a lot for the money.

Not bad results for factory ammo, I'm sure reloads could tighten tighten up a bit.

• “Upper” receiver and one-piece bolt are precision CNC-machined from pre-hardened (minimizes distortion) 4140 Chrome/Moly alloy steel
• “Lower” magazine well halves are precision machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, type III hard-coat anodized
• Multi-Magazine Interface functions interchangeably with M110/SR25/DPMS/Magpul and AICS magazines; supplied with two 10-round Magpul PMags

• Medium contour (.75” at the muzzle) barrel features 5/8-24 threads and thread protector installed.

• Supplied with extended trigger-reach AR-style grip, Samson Evolution Keymod rail, and 45-degree reversible selector
• 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with four #8-40 screws for increased long-range elevation capabilities.
• Oversized bolt handle for positive bolt manipulation, with 5/16” x 24 thread for easy replacement; disassembly tool stored in the bolt shroud for easy striker channel cleaning
• Magazine well front is contoured for a positive grip or bracing against shooting supports

Nice looking gun. Not sure it's worth $1100-$1200.

well if you were to get an entry Remington 700 for 400 a similar chassis would be at least 600. Throw in a base and threading and you are at 1100

Would that right-hand action be a deal breaker?

Might just be my first 6.5 in a couple of years. I'm a little surprised at no 7mm-08 or .223. I daydreamed about this gun a few days ago, wondering why nobody offered an AR-15 based (loosely) bolt gun. Guess I'm psychic?

It was a joke, most here know my feelings on the old tang safety Ruger's.

Now I must admit this rifle did get my attention, you seem to get allot for your money. The 308 or 6.5 do not interest me but the 243 sure caught my eye. 2 questions would be barrel twist on the 243 and overall weight of the rifle. Not a long range shooter but I do like accurate rifle's and these yote's have been keeping they're distance.

Never mind I seen the spec's and that 1-7 twist is a deal breaker.

I remember a Remington survey a couple years ago about one. I would think they focused on the new G2 series rifles, because they will be a big hit.

Bolt action AR chassis are out there...

The 243 with a 1:7.7 twist and that 26 inch barrel is going to reach out there a ways when loaded right.
