Switch calibers have always been a novelty item in my mind. I'd much rather have a dedicated rifle per caliber.
Being a bullpup the bolt throw is very awkward.
Being a bullpup it inherently doesn't have the best design of trigger around.
If you ever look at one and compare it to another factory rifle in its class such as an AI in it's price range the contrast in craftsmanship is apparent.
I've been watching the evolution of this rifle for a while and it looks to be an ever evolving product that you are paying to test for them....cheek riser, buttspike, gen 2 barrel extension, problems with shoulder pad....you get the picture. You the consumer are the R&D sadly.
Now if they were priced @ $1500 cheaper I might be singing a different tune and be able to accept the short comings but at their current market price I'd rather have an AI or better yet a full blown custom.
Yes .260, 6.5creedmoor, 6.5x47L are all great short action options in the 6.5 class. a long action 6.5x55 swede(lapuas cheapest brass) shooting VLD's would be pretty sweet too.
You must smoking some good stuff!!! Pair that DTA chassis up with a barrel spun up by TS customs and you have a 1 hole rifle...
