Prices are starting to come down. Been seeing them for around $1700 lately. Hopefully this trend continues I'd like to pick up an 18" model as well.

ya i think if the came down around 1300 they would be hard to resist a left hand model

 

[WestSider]

I want one bad..

I don't see the going price for these getting less than 1500 for quite a long time.

I am not sure how I feel about them. I have never been a bullpup kinda guy, picked one up and handled it, ergonomics were good, just didn't like the "feel". I need to shoot one to make a final determination.

 

[Moorephine]

They aren't left handed friendly are they?

 

[Gman75]

Picked mine up this fall. I couldn't be happier. It is the most I have ever spent on one rifle.

They aren't left handed friendly are they?

From the reviews, they are very left-hand friendly.

They make left handed models so I'd say they're pretty lefty friendly. Plus the deflector is pretty good about keeping brass out of your face shooting the right handed model left handed.

 

[6mm Shoot]

I would love to have one but I would have to sell most of my stuff to get one. Plus I don't like the 5.56 for an all around round. If it came in 308 it would be better. 308 in an 20" barrel, that would be great and worth getting rid of a lot of stuff. That way I could get down to two rifles and say one shot gun and a couple of hand guns. That could work. Now they just have to make one in 308.

 

[pudly]

I doubt that will ever happen. The 308 is more of a long distance round. No reason to put it into a bullpup, which is intended for close-quarters combat situations. They already have .223/5.56, 9mm, and 5.45x39 options, so it is flexible.

 

[6mm Shoot]

I thought a couple of places made 308 bull pups. Kel Tec makes the RFB that is 308. I think there are a couple of countries in Europe that there military uses 308 bull pups. They talked about them on that military show on TV. I know that one is made in 7.62 X 39 I saw it at a gun show.

I believe the 5.45x39 conversion got scrapped. They are now working on a .300aac conversion instead. 9mm is still a go though.

 

[DocHoliday]

Just got mine today. Now I needs suggestions on a red dot.

Eotech XPS since its a little taller than normal 512 516 etc or aimpoint H1. Seems to be the most popular ones besides the M21 and trijicon reflex sights.

 

[SixSigmaLarry]

The EXPS Eotech is high enough for those sights. I had that with a FTS magnifier on mine. Now I run an ACOG with an RMR on an offset mount.

 

[Disposable Heart]

Over 1K for a (future model) 9mm carbine that's semi auto only and fairly heavy? Pass.

They didn't make a MicroGalil for us, even in a neutered pistol form. They didn't think of the Magal which would have been awesome (kind of a .30 M1 Carbine powered AK/Galil, uses M1 carbine mags, kind of a stop gap between the Galil and Uzi when they found copious stocks of M1 carbine ammo from their liberation wars). No, just the Tavor. And yes, I've shot a Tavor. It's "okay". For 1.4K, I can buy a lot of AR for that. I felt the same way about the FN FS2000, God, I wanted it, had to have it. Until I shot one. Practically jumped out of my skin with disappointment.

Want to give us a mediocre, but cool looking rifle? How about a semi auto SA-80? An Aug that doesn't cost over 1K (even that Microtech nightmare was a bore and issue laden).

Then again, I'm kinda plain jane vanilla in gun likes...
