Specs look impressive. Sub 30 oz. Good height over bore. Negative comb. Built in arca and pic. Good folder, and rear bag rider. No price and availability yet, but it has peaked my interest.

It’s interesting, but they don’t understand what they write. A negative comb does not “raise the recoil fulcrum” and does not produce a “linear recoil impulse”.

Yeah so it has a negative comb, but the butt pads itself is lower? It has my interest but that’s contrary to the stated objective no?

Perhaps by negative comb they’re referencing the buttpad height? It’s still not as high over bore as a rokstok. Not sure. They’ve got a YouTube video of a brown bear hunt and nothing else I can find on them.

My uneducated eye like the looks of it, (ok the forend looks aesthetically a little goofy but i can forgive that) but I have a feeling it’ll be boutique and they’ll price themselves out of selling many of them if they can’t keep manufacturing costs down.

They would definitely be well served to move the butt pad up to be in line with the comb.

On 2nd look no full length ARCA. Not really something I’m prepared to give up with a chassis.

Would be nice, but I’m a manners PH user with arca rear and pic front so i don’t know what i don’t know. Looks like it would be easy enough to add it as an option, if they’d listen to feedback.

The recoil pad is below boreline as any standard stock is- it’s not remotely above boreline. The picture I posted has the line at center of Boreline.

The recoil pad is below boreline as any standard stock is- it’s got remotely above boreline line. The picture I posted has the top picture at center of Boreline.

That is a bit of an optical illusion, I’ll admit. Not sure if the “bridge” on the forend makes it appear that way but i initially thought it was higher than it was. They’re pretty close to having something real nice, if they’d tweak a couple things. Wouldn’t he too hard to move the top of the butt pad up to the same height as the back of the cheek piece.
