Remember the Kifaru Rambling Rifle
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.

Just because they say you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.

I thought Blaser's were butt-ugly. Looks like I stand corrected. Smiler

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.
