He says because the butt stock can be removed it won't pass muster in Australia. Presumably if a pistol grip with no butt could be attached.

I don't know if this is true?

First with the existing butt removed there is nothing behind the action to grip onto. Nothing much more than trying to use say a M98 with no stock.

Secondly I am sure there are several or even lots of firearms where the butt stock can be easily removed. Not so quickly but with just a screw or two as well.

I don't think this rifle will have problems at all. We will see.

I won't spend $3000 to $4000 for it. Would buy a Blaser before than. No exchangeable barrels on the Sako. The picatinny base is ugly. The rifle even sounded flimsy in the video, not solid like the salesman said.

Something simply not possible with those ridiculous Blaser magazines with a combined trigger. Imagine a blaster with a ten shot mag where the trigger would be??!!!

And it you wanted to carry an extra mag, you get a spare trigger to go with it. Ha ha.

I know some Blaster owners claim a detachable trigger makes their rifles far more safer ... especially when they loose their triggers. ha ha ha ha ah ha ha.

The reason I mention Blasers so much is because that stock is so obviously a copy of the new gaping thumbhole Blaster stock.
