Never seen that before. Slick little survival set up. I couldn't find info on the fishing rod. Is it standard or an option?

From the look of the pictures I've seen, I think its an option...

Its focused towards ultralight backpackers...so they worked the fishing capabilities in there to make it a Multi-Use piece of gear...

EDIT: I went to their "About Pack Rifle" section and it does not specify anything about the rod or real seat being standard...

Never heard of it, I wonder how they compare to something like the AR-7. I've always wanted one of those.

That is so frigging rad. The lighrlest barrel on a 10/22 weighs that much!

Pretty cool. I don't know if I believe they bagged the Cougar with this little thing though.

That is a bobcat, not a cougar.

Yeah thanks - I just knew somebody was going to say that. The bobcat/lynx I believe.
There are more pictures on the sight though. Looks like they've got about 150lb cougar (mountain lion/puma) too.

wow thats really cool, wish it wasnt single shot though, maybe they can make a double barreled one with 2 triggers?

That's really cool!

It looks like a tube feed. They don't really specify though.

looks pretty cool, unfortunately its single shot and a bit pricy, any word on the acuracy of these things

Its been hard to find reviews. This is a niche item made for ultralight backpacking enthusiasts...so I'm limited to what I can find on those forums regarding this rifle.

I found out about it through backpackinglight.com forums...a few minutes spent in there and you realize how hardcore these guys are about shaving off an ouce on ALL their gear...down to using no toilet paper on their hiking trips.
