[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3430595, member: 33119"] It doesn’t matter if they are late to the game or not. If it shoots, the action is easy/smooth, and the trigger is light/crisp it will draw a crowd. Especially if companies make a chassis system for it. Pluses for it are the rail, trigger, stock, pillars, flush cups, cheek riser, DBM, and threaded bolt knob. A fluted bolt may save a tad bit of weight but is mainly window dressing for the cool kids and a carbon fiber barrel isn’t worth crap if it doesn’t shoot. They should have just threaded the muzzle w/a thread protector (I can’t stand those type muzzle breaks). They didn’t say much about the important part of the barrel (button/hammered rifling?) 5R, stainless/CM? Springfields customer service will play a big part in the success/failure of this rifle. If it doesn’t shoot 3/4moa out of the box with match ammo and Springfield doesn’t make it right or is slow in making it right, the gun forums will eat them alive. [/QUOTE]
