Commercialize it w/Lapua or Sako making brass, ammo, and a high BC tipped Scenar of 75-85gn.

Almost zero. Now a 22 creed might make some waves...

I love the "it's not pretty enough" crowd. Are we talking guns or barbies for f ucks sake?

I disagree. If assembled properly thinking about mag-box and projectile selection, well supported with excellent ammo availability and lots of hype from print and digital media, I think they could make a go. You tout it as a dirt-cheap/no-recoil way to "practice" with similar ballistics to your "deer/big game" rifle. Get PRC to start a ".378 bolt-face" division, heck, you could call it the 223PRC.
