Very nice! I wonder what calibers it's available in and how much it weighs. @$3800.00 MSRP, I won't be getting one, but I wonder if the components will come available for a cheaper build. That would be cool!

Looks like 308 is it from the ad.

Isn't it similar to the Armalite one

I for one think its a very stylized overpriced rifle, typical of all colt products. They advertise 1 MOA like its some sort of number to brag about, sorry but its not. An off the shelf savage will do better then that with match ammo and a good shooter. Its 308, if your going to spend 3K+ on a rifle to optimize range and accuracy and not first look at the bullet that it shoots. Don't get me wrong 308 is a great round for under a 1000 yards, but part of its appeal to me is that its a decent round out of nearly any make of bolt gun. To top it all off Colt is about 5 years behind the curve

Agree with SoL. I'm sure it's a great rifle, but it's nothing special.

If you kept it KISS you could out fit 2 or 3 2 man sniper teams for that much money.
