We are going to see a lot more aluminum actions.

Tanya and I got a sneak peek a few weeks ago. Long story short this is the easiest rifle to spot your own hits with period. When you're wife is spotting hits with a suppressed sub ten pound 300 PRC at 500 yards you know Gunwerks is doing something a little different and it begins and ends with the best stock design on the market.

Did you feel this stock is better than the clymr? I mean if you don't consider the arca rail...are they the same? Really want a negative comb height stock, and the clymr is intriguing, but if this new one is better in some way I wonder if it justifies waiting.

IMO the Nexus is better because of the vertical pistol grip.

$1050 for the AnTi
$200 triggertech primary
$300 obendorf Hawkins bottom metal and magazine kit
$550 Alterra stock (on sale)
$600 Rock Creek #5 fluted and chambered by Kampfeld Customs.
Assembled and bedded for free by little old me

Hook a brother up with the secret to getting a rock creek blank, chambered, threaded, and fluted for $600. Buddy discount?

$600 is closer to what I'd expect just for the smith work minus the blank.

Button rifled hand lapped blanks were $180
Kampfeld Customs is super reasonable for the fluting and chambering.
I see Rock Creek isn't offering barrels anymore due to work load..

To me, the stock at least, screams "wanna be Blaser". I have owned two Gunwerks rifles and a Blaser so I feel like I have some grounds to make that statement. My R8 is simply an amazing rifle. Their straight pull action and ease of interchangeable bolt faces, barrels etc is impressive.

I have a lot of respect for Gunwerks. Aaron and crew have taken innovation to the next level. Sometimes however they take it too far. I.e., the magnus stock with its clunky changeable butt stock. Just unnecessary weight. Took them a while to realize many, most would never use it nor want it so they finally offered it without it. The Nexus, I like the idea but have zero use for the arca rail. I understand the more variations offered the more expensive it gets for product development and on hand stock. Aluminum doesn't bother me one bit. How many high-end race car engines have all aluminum blocks? It's tough enough. Kudos on the innovation however.
Aaron says "nothing like the Blaser.." I think they built it from the ground up with variations not readily appreciated from a distance.

It's better in recoil management too. Tried ordering a component Nexus stock for a build - not an option currently. 😞
