Interesting. The rear tang has the looks of an Enfield. I wonder if they are soldering their bases onto the receiver, however, they claim that the bases are "cast" into the receiver.
Does anyone have one of these rifles yet?

The members at 24hr were not too kind what with the price being four grand!
None could deny that they might sell out however. When one looks at the houses being built in CT now starting at $350K this is just a small expense to some.
This Nosler rifle is push feed and the safety might be suspect.
While I am interested in knowing more I don't think I would buy one myself.
"We wanted to make this rifle a potential investment. That's why these are limited to 500 rifles."
I guess if you want to spend 4 grand on a rifle as a "investment" it`s fine. The rifle acually looks pretty good IMO but, I think you could do better though for the money building your own custom. I have no doubt Nosler will sell them out..........

Why would a great company like Nosler promote a rifle with such lousy grain flow through the stock??? It seems like they have spent a huge amount of time/money and should have paid better attention to the stock layout of the MOST VISABLE part of the rifle. Maybe I'm just too picky, but I wouldn't have spent the time stocking the first "latest and greatest" semi custom rifle on a blank that dives through the grip and runs down through the forend. gunmaker

LOT'S of change, frankly, and that Nosler is, to my mind, a most unimpressive rifle. Kind of Euro-moderne in the lines and kind of Remington cheapsh*t in the engineering to be precise.

"Leupold also created a special reticle that is matched to the flight characteristics of our 180grain AccuBond� bullet. With this combination, the shooter can use a dead-on hold out to 500 yards.
"
So, what's the cartridge that this is calibrated for? Is there only one selection?
How does one of the previous posters know that it's a push feed? Is there other info on another site that I didn't find (not that I want to shell out $4,000; I'm just the curious type)?
