Here are some earlier threads but there doesn't seem to be a great deal of buzz for this weapon or at least people aren't vocal about it.

Until there are rifles in the hands of users, all we can do is assess based on the claims from the manufacturer. The big eyebrow raiser for me was the claimed weight of the 16" barrel .308 model. 7.5 pounds is an insane over promise from any rifle manufacturer.

I'm pretty interested in the 10.5" 5.56mm version. The .308 doesn't seem like fun unless it's suppressed. A compensated .308 going off that close to my face doesn't seem like a lot of fun.

It's a year or more out from store shelves, it's going to be some time before enough people touch them to have a consensus.
There's just not much buzz to have.

I like what I see in the vids enough to pre order one and try it out. That company has a solid rep for making nice rifles. Can't wait for the release!

*snip* as this rifle addresses the issues that hampered my interest in the Tavor: suppressor use and mag release location.

Did I miss the functioning demonstration that showed one of theses Desert Tac Bull pups utilizing a sound suppressor? Unless Desert Tactical arms has figured out a way to reroute back-pressure from the sound suppressor it will still foul the inside of the rifle.

The Tavor's mag release location isn't as troubling to me as the bolt lock back is.

Let's reserve fanatical product love until after the product is in the hands of honest YouTube, forum, and Blog reviewers.

Looks like a very complicated ejector system they have in place.


Maybe it's just me, but I prefer simple systems and this just looks overly complicated. Not to mention having to clear a stoppage in that thing.
