I haven’t read the whole thread, so apologies if it’s already been asked and answered- does Wilson Combat plan to offer these in left-hand models?

FYI, Wrongside. Yes, the progression is like this
M20 M20S (both hinged floorplate and detachable AR mag versions) M24 M28 Bill why did you move away from the blind magazines Melvin used? And are left handed NULA’s going to return? Our team all agreed that the guns would sell better with hinged bottom metal and personally I don't like a blind mag.. I'm not aware of a single direct customer request for a blind mag.. Once all the right hand guns are available I'm sure we will look at LH guns.

Thanks Gents. Appreciate you digging Bill’s comment up, 1eyedmule! I haven’t read the whole thread, so apologies if it’s already been asked and answered- does Wilson Combat plan to offer these in left-hand models? I don’t believe so. FYI, Wrongside. Yes, the progression is like this

My pleasure. I've been following along pretty closely

Does anyone have one in hand yet? That was my next question. With the prices coming down to that $26-2700 range it makes one in 7mm-08 a little more appealing to me down the road sometime.

Do Bill's stock exactly dimensionally replicate Melvin's?

Do Bill's stock exactly dimensionally replicate Melvin's? I've wondered this as well. I'm guessing...again, it's a guess....that the stock is the same that Barrett used on the Fieldcraft, except with bdl bottom metal. It would be nice to know, rather than guess.

Sure looks like a swing and a miss to me especially for the non or anti suppressed crowd. I would want it with a 16”-18” barrel and could easily make that happen with more money. I’m not big on the idea of buying a $3,000 rifle and having to spend more on it. I suppose that it could just be special ordered with a shorter barrel?
The guys who don’t want to use a suppressor are not going to like the threaded barrel and likely would rather have a 21”-22” barrel. The 20” just doesn’t seem like it would please anyone in non magnum chamberings.

I would love to know this too because if the stock is the same as the Barrett that would be a deal breaker for me. I could not wait the get my hands on a Barrett when they first came out until I did....Ergo's sucked for me 👎🏾.....Hb

I was pleasantly surprised with the room afforded in the mag box to what was rumored.. The rifle is pillar bedded well. I don’t see a need to bed the lug as it’s very tight against the inlet.

I assume the mag box is the limiting factor to OAL, and not the receiver mag port?

I've shot a 16.1" barrel 6.5 Grendel with factory 123 gr 52,000 psi ammo a lot in hunting situations and that's about the limit to blast/noise I'd want in actual hunting situations without ears on, but up here in Canada we can't have suppressors so...for 308 based cases 20" is a similar limit imo. Speaking from a hunting perspective and no ears actual killing shooting. Obviously at the range it doesn't matter as ears are on. You guys killing with 16" 308 based cases aren't finding them rude? or do you plan suppressors? Or do you wear ears while hunting?
Also, my sako 90 peak 308 20" threaded landed actual 5 lb 10 oz and has 5+1 cap, detach flush mag, and integral picatinny that will let anyone get as low as they want with an optic...for those that is an issue like me. Pretty robust uber simple set up with Arc M-Brace rings...that's the easy button if putting out this kind of money. But for the reloader types etc. that need extra length etc. etc. this won't matter but an option to compare otherwise imo. Best trigger, slicker than whale poop on iceberg cycling/feeding, came with radial brake and dust cap (poi was same), and I guess the ergo would need to work for those more particular also. Mine did 3-shot .6" ctc groups with hornady match 168 eld-m and fusion 180's on the first day testing factory ammo's to see what it likes.
