Oof. Daring price tag. Whole lotta options round there.
Actually it’s literally a selling point if you think about it: If you are lefty and you want to sell your gun there’s now 9 times more potential buyers.
I’m smart like that eh?

Well, you’re not wrong. I’m not sure if buying a rifle so it’s easier to sell is something that attracts me though.
I just feel like this should be $1500 to sell. People will love the concept but who is actually going to pony up the dollars.
Synthetic stocked savage , $2.5k (whistles)

I did say if you took the US price and doubled it, you’d get a starting price for here. Sure, I overestimated the Australia Tax component but $2500 is still a lot of cash, especially for something with a synthetic stock that’s not from a ‘premium’ brand.
I would be interested if it were a Tikka at that price.
I saw that it has a clamp in barrel with a barrel extension for those that love switch barrels.
Geez. This is a lot of high tech for low tech Savage.
I recon. Sleeved, Aluminium action as well. Far too much technology for their price point. Should have released them as a separate brand if they wanted to sell them at that price.
Oh wow, they’re in Steyr territory!
Really need a sarcasm font hey!
Disappointing.
Here you go, @Nomis - domestically made, multiple calibres…

…and a cool $4,000 (or just shy off) price tag. Mmmmm, yeah, nah.
What it needs is a blowback system and a lever release, then we’d be talking… As is, sort of neither here nor there. :’(
Haha. I was going to post this. Looks cool AF but yeah, not going to happen at that price.

Rather than everyone making the same “I can’t believe it’s not an AR-15” (there, I said it) and basically daring the antis to ban it, how about someone make something interesting like a Dragunov or PSG-1.
Yes, they’ll probably fall afoul of the appearance laws in NSW and WA, but realistically they’re not likely to sell large numbers due to our small market anyway so does it really matter if they sell a half a dozen fewer - especially if they’re the same ridiculous price all the other locally-made straight-pull rifles are?
Exactly like that; but they’d need to make it here because there’s no way that’s getting past Customs.

Yep…
Ozzie Reviews just did a vid on a Beretta straight pull that’s yet to be released
Apparently the RRP is 2.5k for it as well, so similar range as the Savage.
