I always recoil at the picture of a classic firearm dressed up in modern furniture. They could chamber the M1a in any caliber without a blink from me, but for heaven's sake do keep the wood and classic lines. Felt the same way about Mossberg making a lever-action with a fore-end that resembled a tactical rifle. Any day now I expect some outfit will produce a single-action revolver with removable magazine to address the slow loading problem. Want tactical, go with modern designs from beginning to end. Just leave the historical legacy alone.

I kinda like it. But that's a ton of money for something that isnt going to accept optics (well, or at all)

People make what other people will pay for. If people don't want it they will not last long. They are all in it to make a buck. I have to guess they are pretty sure they have buyer's or they would not tool up to do it.

I noticed the 6.5 CM news too. Not sure that I see the point even though I love 6.5 CM. I would however disagree that it won't accept optics well. A nice T1 or T2 located about half way down the barrel of a Socom or a Scout seems like the perfect optic on a very nice gun. (Although that is the argument against this gun in 6.5 CM, 308 would work just fine for a good 1x optic)

I see these beautiful rifles being turned into tacticool knock offs of 10/22 mall ninja idiot guns where Tapco has the same impremetuer as Rolls Royce.

Fat old guys like me have stopped remembering that these beautiful, crafted tools to put holes in things far away are different than a chevy king cab 4x4 with all the bubblegum and punisher stickers you can adhere to them.

My "tactical rifle" need more Stuff to screw on it damn it!

If I have to carry my m1a to Cleveland on foot after the North Korean apocalypse through the snow, that shortened barrel, red dot sight and collapsible stock in woodland camouflage will come in handy.

Unless you're competing in a particular sport like 3 gun, you don't need 20 shotgun shells in a gun... do you think the Birds was a documentary? Are all the Cripps and the Bloods coming for you?

Whatever.

In 6.5 Creedmoor? Fine. Folding stock paratroop model with a 7" muzzlebreak and tactical light? Not so much.
