Very nice rifle

Holy crap that rifle uses some expensive ammo... $189 per box of 20...

Interesting.
What is its primary use, how much does it weigh, and what are your plans for sighting, etc.
I like the grain on that stock!

It’s not available just yet. This one is the prototype which just came back from having some fine tuning work done...

Express sights are being installed this week. Weight is about 12 lbs. Primary use is any game in the world, basically. We are considering necking down the cartridge for very long distances...

Is this another answer for a question never asked?

All questions should be asked. Otherwise there would be no inventions.

After a little web surfing, I see.
A proprietary cartridge that is extremely expensive is going to be a huge hurdle. Unless a major ammunition manufacturer steps up to offer components or complete cartridges, I see it becoming a footnote of obscurity. While the ballistics look very promising, its needs major backing. I applaud the intent, and hope they thrive, but I also am reminded of the last "Short Magnum" craze that fizzled.

That’s cool and all but if I wanted a heavy hitting AR 10 I’d probably built it 338 federal

No SAAMI specs. Not submitted. But at Range Day in Boulder City before SHOT, we had multiple people hitting the 1000 yard target, with a 390 grain jacketed lead projectile from Hawk Precision Bullets made to our spec, with the AR-10 platform and also with the 475 Safari bolt action. The Field & Stream guy did it, and a few others. Michael Bane did it, only 4 (maybe 5) dots down using our 1-8x scope.

Now that it has been over a year since I saw the first mention of this, what progress has been made in that time?

It’s been shipping to customers for some time now. Prices have come down a bit as we improved processes and gained more favorable pricing for some of the parts. We offer a wider range of available choices of projectiles. We’ve gained a lot of favorable press from Range Day and SHOT 2020. We had people who’ve never shot out to 1000 yards be able to do it at Range Day using our 3-gun 1-8x24 scope.

That sounds good.
I saw the video from SHOT with Michael Bane, whom I respect.
That .475 certainly has some power!

[MrSupermotoracer]

I want that rifle
