New Arken/Outlier Rifle

[MTNDUDE]

Arken/Outlier is coming out with a new rife. It seems like it's got some interesting features.

This thing seems pretty great, if it all works out - maybe a big ask. Ultralight, caliber swappable, chassis rifle WITH lightweight suppressor and scope for $2k?

Surprised there isn't more fuss over it.

I have an outlier 6cm barrel. It shoots.

I have an outlier chassis for another build. I do not understand what it’s missing compared to chassis that are 5x more expensive.

I suspect their rifles would be similar.


In my line of work - when you continue to raise your price, even with a good product, and you continue to ignore customer’s ability or willingness to pay for it, you open a supply side vacuum. And if another supplier is paying attention, they can enter at a very low cost plus point, and iron out the details along the way to a product that is still way cheaper than yours.


This seems like what’s happening here.
