[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 39775, member: 25"] Where have you guys been? That looks like one of those new Variable Objective-Diameter scopes from Burris? You just screw on the 40mm, 50mm or 56mm, whatever size you feel you need that day. Comes with a little can of compressed nitrogen to keep from fogging. You can also change reticles yourself, just reach inside and take the suckers out, put in a different one, shoot in some nitrogen and screw the sucker together. As for the rifle, obviously it is a prototype take-down. That upper forward top breach portion looks like a locking latch, to hold the barrel in place. The stock portions obviously all snap together to enable attaching various rests, etc. Nice challenge when you are sitting in a deer blind trying to remember how to put your rifle back together - kind of like a crossword puzzle. Hell, you could carry most of that rifle in your pack. Maybe use the barrel for a hiking staff. Note that the floorplate is specially shaped (bulged) to increase magazine capacity. This is one nicely designed prototype, the ultimate pack rifle. Hell it looks strong enough you could drive over it with a Chevy one-ton and not hurt it a bit. Gimme a Winchester M-70 anyday over them wimpy Rems. You guys are reading too much into this - talking about a castrophic failure, just don't happen with a Winchester Model 70 [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
