[Captain Obvious] Definitely aimed at a "niche" market.

A 98-103-grain bullet at 2000 fps (muzzle) and 1500 (100 yards) for 885 ft lb of muzzle geewhiz is hauling ass. I'm not sure what they define as "medium" game, but you'd better get as close as you can first.

Baugh ... Springfield will make it in Brazil for $699 first.

You got to admit, that sprung counter weight is pretty ingenious!

It's got kind of an Eastern Block "Blade Runner" blaster look to it. But price, yeah a bit crazy.

"But look at how BRNO rifles sell every year!"

Uh huh.

It looks to me like an overpriced knock off of a SIG P210.

The Armscor Filipino version will beat them all at $299 tops.

As mentioned, they've obviously got a ton in R&D ... I'm guessing if it doesn't get a military contract, they'll want to recoup

Word on the street is that it's already been fielded and has at least one eKIA

That´s what the CZ 75 is for 43 years, ....well, not overpriced, but........

"Luxury Firearms"
Seems like an appropriate name for the importer!

Ahhh, no

Come on Jim!

Live a little ...

after all ... you deserve it!

I shall just stick with my 5 7X28 f n and save the extra $5,000 +
Its is pretty though.

Looks like a Beretta and a CZ had a love child, then fed it steroids.

I might have to go to your local gun shop and stare at it through the case.

Some pics I took way back; I wasn't able to share until now since the gun wasn't officially released yet (and I forgot I had them until this thread). I think my neighbor was the one holding the first one received; he's got a deposit on one when the rest come in.

That FK is fk'n beautiful, just not $7,500 worth of beautiful ... and espically not at $90/box of cartridges, however I'd spend the $90 to shoot 1 box through it

I finally broke down and took a picture of my 75B SA with my 75 TS ... comparing the TS to the FK BRNO, they seem to be very similar in size

didn't Military Arm's Channel do a video of it a month or so ago? I didn't watch it but I want to say I saw the thumbnail last time I was surfing youtube.

I thought it looked like a good concept but when I saw the projected MSRP I dropped all care.

I think they should ship with 3 magazines and a loader.....a loader named Barbara who washes cars, makes pancakes, maybe vacuums, goes on liquor runs, and makes sammiches while wearing little to nothing

Every Barbara I know is 60+ years old ... How about Bambi ... or Mercedes ... and comes with her own pole for when she's not doing anything else!

So? That's a stock pic. We knew what it was back then. The pics I posted were ones I took back the of the first official imported gun, not a stock pic or ATF sample.
