The video shows you stuff all, nothing useful on it at all.

Like the idea of the switch barrel method but the barrel locking mechanism of the ole Bren Gun would be better, way quicker and no tools but a locking lever would be unsightly. The scope mounting is going to cost an arm and a leg, like some other proprietary systems.

If I was in the market for a takedown rifle, would I choose it, probably not.

Interesting, but not my idea of a rifle for me.

Lots of companies have been offering the switch barrel options.. including GUNWERKS and PROOF, both high end rifles.. Have shot both. Super accurate.. and I really like both.

Have to say, and I am a Sako fan, but this one will not win any beauty contests..

Looks fine time, European styling. But the torque wrench approach sounds far more complicated than competitors. Might be effective however. Boring range of cartridges chamberings however.
