This thing looks amazing. Certainly won’t be anything I will be able to afford but I sure would like to have one.

Don't have time to watch the video right now, but that looks interesting from the thumbnail image.

Would be curious to see the bolt operation.

Thanks for the post.

There are definitely situations in which a decent length barrel and effective suppressor, but without an excessive overall length would be welcome. I believe, though, that a suppressor mount that would permit one of the myriad cans American shooters already have would be a no-brainer. And proprietary magazines: although I prefer the Sako/Tikka TRG22/TAC/CTR mags and have a bunch, the AICS pattern has almost become a standard.

The other thing that caught my eye was the separate cocking mechanism. I’ve seen something similar on other rifles used by Europeans, and according to the Internet it’s not a legal requirement, but still common so that the rifle can be carried with bolt closed on a chambered round and the firing pin not cocked. That would certainly require some getting accustomed to, though, especially for a follow-up shot under pressure: “Oh, snap! Why isn’t it firing?”

Pretty darn cool. I hope it's successful for them. Doubtful that I will ever buy one, but future developments might include something I want.

Any video that starts off in my old hometown is off to a good start, but WOW is right. Love it. Giving off those Walther WA 2000 vibes.

From a pure cosmetic standpoint...
That is one of the most ass-ugly rifles I've ever seen.





This is where my signature goes.

I like the looks of it and the wood furniture. The owner is smart not to want to call it a bullpup, I am one of those that has a negative opinion of semi-auto bullpups. It's entirely a pre-conceived notion, I have never shot one, but I wouldn't want that port noise coming out right under my ear. For a bolt gun it makes sense.

My first impression of the operation is that it is an ND waiting to happen. I'm thinking when some people go to grip that cocking lever with their thumb they will naturally want to close their grip, will grab the trigger at the same time and boom! They may have a work around in the safety, but at first glance it spooks me.

I dig the idea but 4k euros makes it a bit out of reach.

OK, I’m an idiot, why is this called a bullpup? I’m a little familiar with the semiauto/auto bullpups, but this bolt action “bullpup” escapes me.

^^^^^^^^^
The action is behind the trigger. Putting longer barrel in an overall shorter package.

This particular gun has a 24” barrel add the suppressor and the overall length of the firearm is only like 44”

I thought it was Ulm initially but way to small of a church. Was in Nuremberg Frauenkirche center?
