I’m interested as well. Looking for something with a threaded barrel and really like the idea of this setup.

Might want to get the bugs worked out of the first year run.

I really want one bad.Don’t know why,I’ve already got 5 rifles and I’m 73.Probably not many years left for me to deer hunt.
But- I’ve got a Leupold,3x9 x40 in my gun closet,calling out for a rifle to go on.

If the prices are as high as the thread last week said, just look for a gen 1 and put it in a Magpul stock for the same or less.

They were on the internet for $529-599. Most are sold out and on back order now

I held two in person at a pawn shop in Mississippi, the guy said they only ordered a handful and they have almost sold immediately. The ones I held were the .223 and 5.56 versions. My impressions were it was really light, the stock has kind of an aggressive texture to it. The only negative thing I noticed were both ones I held the barrel was pretty much touching the stock on one side, which is easily fixable but the gap between the barrel and the stock is quite large compared to other rifles with free floating barrels so it kind of concerned me to see that it was basically touching on both guns. They were also listed at $589, don’t know if the bigger calibers will be more expensive.

Which caliber would you use to suppress for hogs/coyotes? Any suggestions? I like the look of this rifle.

Depends on how suppressed you want it...
I have a 300 BLK I carry with me when we have a questionable deer shot or hogs and I typically shoot it supressed with supersonic rounds. It's quiet but still have a crack of the sound barrier but kills them dead. Then you can also sight in for subsonic which will kill a pig but at much less range.
A more interesting round is the 8.6 Blackout it shoots a much bigger bullet and at a much bigger range still subsonic. My partner in my place just got one we shot a deer and several armadillos at over 100 yards with it totally quiet subsonic 280 grain bullet. It was impressive the damage it caused and the range of a subsonic bullet. IMO after seeing it it's what I would get if I were to do it over again.
