    I did a search and found them between 1300 and 1600. For that price I would stay with the AR platform, but a bullpup 308 is pretty cool.

    Saw some prototypes at the SHOT show 2 or 3 years ago. I'd say yes, if the final version is well executed, it has some potential.

    Looks like Keltec got my original post that a 2k bullpup made by keltec is a joke (their original MSRP).

    Lets keep things in perspective... this isn't a FN bullpup... it's a keltec.

    This is akin to Yugo trying to turn out a Corvette... maybe it will be great and all that... but the brand label will never justify the price tag.

    That said, I might be willing to spend 700-800 (NIB) for one if it actually works as advertised. I also would wait until the second production runs, keltec (like ruger) rarely gets the first mass run of anything right.

    So yes, I would definitely be interested if the price were right. For 1,500~ I'd be buying something else though.

    Definitely. I don't have the that much money for a rifle right now.

    The barrel comes in several lengths. Up to 30 inches I think.

    It looks like a well thought out heavy caliber bullpup, and almost totally ambidexterous.

    Heck yeah, especially forward ejecting as I shoot rifles lefty.

    +1 on that. It looks like it takes FAL mags too. A great idea since there are so many to be had out there. That rifle looks like a blast to shoot.

    Read a review in a mag recently. The rifle recieved exelent marks. If had the money, I would have one.

    What magazine did you see this rifle reviewed in?
