[SIZE="3"]I sent the following E-mail Message to Desert Tech Marketing Director, Seth Ercanbrack, today:
"Mr. Ercanbrack,
There's no question that Desert Tech knows a thing or two about designing, building highly-accurate bolt-action Bullpups (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL0MH32rB6o). And, re the upcoming Desert Tech autoloading MDR Bullpup, I'm encouraged to read, "The barrel assemblies are completely free-floated, too, for maximum accuracy . . ." (http://www.guns.com/2014/01/20/desert-te...d-bullpup/).
Today's typical autoloading Bullpup carbine, with non-free-floating barrel, chambered for the mid-20th Century "varmint" cartridge deemed ideal for "jungle warfare operations" during the Vietnam War, delivers "combat-rifle accuracy" (http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/06...tavor-sar/); (http://www.bullpupforum.com/index.php?topic=5394.0); (http://bullpupforum.com/index.php?topic=...7#msg49987), which limits one's use to short-to-medium ranges.
Enter: the 1/2 MOA 6.5mm Grendel (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1250867...#i30879121); (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1250867...#i30888773).
The challenge: an autoloading Bullpup carbine, delivering consistent sub-MOA accuracy, for e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d range use, chambered for a popular all-purpose, multi-range 21st Century cartridge (http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthrea...ty_Updates).
I can envision a 2015 shooting magazine cover story, Escape from the 20th Century: The sub-MOA Desert Tech 6.5mm Grendel MDR, with inside heading, "'Cause today's state-of-the-art autoloading Bullpups aren't just for short-range use, anymore!"
Sincerely,"
