I remember when the Kifaru came out, but they went out of production almost immediately. It looks like someone liked the idea and had a gunsmith make up a 2-barrel knock-off. Pretty cool!

They were one of the first super-lightweight, backpack-able mountain rifles.

They have too many zeroes in the starting price.

That is not just ugly, it gives ugly a bad name.

To paraphrase a line from the movie American Graffiti, "that rifle is so ugly, I bet you have to sneak up on the ammo to be able to load it"

At 5 lbs with scope, it was purpose-built.

It is missing an important and functional part of any rifle - the forend! 2020

Definitely different. Not my cup of tea, but to each his own. Think I might actually like it if it had at least some forend. Don't care for the shooting stance required at all.

I went on the web and saw an actual Kifaru. If that Bill is considered a friend I know why no one wanted them. just as ugly as this "custom." Only good as a vine catcher.
