A gun? A sweat proof holster? An exercise routine? A reality show?

Right now it looks like a marketing campaign.

It would have been a great product if this was 2008.

I like what I'm reading about the gun so far. It fits into the category of a sub $1000 rifle that is a couple levels above the entry level rifles.

MSRP of $900 or so, middy gas, BCM furniture, 1:8 chrome moly vanadium barrel with melonite finish? Pretty nice rifle, decent value. We'll see street prices at $850 and perhaps lower.

I mean, this pretty much.

Wooo, an AR, big deal. :snore:

Another overhyped AR? Quick run out and buy it!

I predict my shop will sell every one we get, quickly. And, we'll have a good list of special orders for them.

It will be interesting to see where the street price settles on it. $750-850 and it will be a great buy otherwise just another AR. You can get a decent AR for $650 or less that will do what most folks need really need.

$849 at GA Firing Line.

We have it priced the same at Adventure Outdoors. We sold every one of them by Monday of last week. And we have a few special orders in for them.

Customers like the gun. We like the gun. It may be "just another AR" to a few, I might call them AR snobs. In my opinion, it's a good product addition to the crowded AR market. One reason we like the gun, is it is a well featured gun that is still sub $1000 and is a couple steps above the entry level rifles. It is easy to find $1000 + rifles in that niche. Just from a gun seller point of view, the $1000 price point seems like a common desired ceiling for many buyers, who want something better than a DPMS, an AR556, an M&P Sport II, etc.
