GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
I love how light it is, I've been looking for something like that that doesn't weigh 15 pounds.

Damn, I really like that . . . also like some of the calibers that they're talking about. Depending on the pricepoint, it would displace an R700 build I was looking at.
Hope this comes to market.

I've been following this for a couple months. Short throw bolt, lightweight, they say "under $3000".
Supposed to be about 2800. When you get done fiddle f'ing with that 700 and never making it what this is, you would be close in cost and double the weight and a bottle of pain killers for the troubles. Of course someone will list what they think is a comparable product built off of a 700 action in an attempt to justify what they have.

You guys are right. This comes with a good looking, lightweight chassis, Bartlein barrel. For the price, it would be hard to touch if someone was trying to build up a R700. Only thing I can think of in defense of the 700 is if someone didn't want/like chassis systems and preferred a stock. Then they are coming out with the Magpul 700 which is pretty much a 700 5R in a magpul stock. The 5R is far and away a better rifle than your standard SPS tactical that most people start their builds on, and the only real upgrade to make on that would be a better trigger and a muzzle device. But it would also be heavier than this, so it would really just be preference of the shooter at that point.
I am not familiar with this company at all, anyone have any info on the trigger they use?
looking forward to seeing both the Fix and HB 2.0 Tagging this for later.
I'm very anxious to see how this rifle holds up against some abuse. The cast aluminum body is the only thing that I question. I have a feeling that the engineering behind it is solid and well thought out. If barrels are readily available I see me selling my current bolt gun to pay for one of these!
