I wonder if that muzzle break is removable? Would be pretty handy if so to attach a can.

I am interested in a 7mm-08, nice and light weight. Remove the brake and add a suppressor

The UPR appears to be a CTR in an upgraded stock. Can’t tell if it’s some kind of fiberglass stock, possibly carbon, or just texture painted plastic like a Bergara HMR. It’ll Come down to Quality of the stock and street price compared to just putting a CTR in a Manners/McMillan/KRG whatever..
The Veil models are more interesting to me. Stocks looks like a T3x lite stock with a sponge paint job, which isn’t worth much as it’s real easy to do with current models. But a fluted, threaded, cerakoted barreled action is a nice idea. I’d like to know specs on barrel contour, length, thread specs etc. Looks like 20” barrels, which is a popular catch all length for mass produced threaded rifles but IMO is still too long for most suppressed hunting use, and probably a little short for strictly braked usage (have to admit I’ve never owned a braked bolt gun). I would rather see a 22” threaded model with a brake, and a similar 16.5-18” suppressor ready model
