I’ve searched this forum and googled to no end. I’m seeking any info from buyers on this rifle that debuted at Shot Show 2023. I’ve contacted Olympus Arms they say they’re 8 weeks out to delivery. Surely someone has bought one already and can provide a review ??? TIA Link to rifle info : https://imgur.com/gallery/zoDbQtb |

Quoted: Well being that the Shot show was in January 2023 , that was approx 24 weeks ago Quoted: Quoted: If they are 8 weeks out doesn't that mean no one has one yet? Well being that the Shot show was in January 2023 , that was approx 24 weeks ago You know SHOT is full of concept guns, right? LaRue took what, 8 years on the Siete. PSA has had an mp5 and lots of concept guns this year. Trigger activated lights (thankfully) never made it. The list goes on... |

Yes I’m aware , this was released at Shot show not as a concept but rather as available now. Olympus Arms FAQ on their website says available now And lastly the email exchange from last week - they’re ready to take my money now and deliver in 8 weeks. But…. I don’t want to be the first buyer hence this post to see if anyone has one or knows of anyone having one . |

Quoted: From the video I remember seeing, it's very low recoil as the barrel assembly moves ala the M82 and similar. I'm intrigued, but not almost $4k intrigued. Quoted: Quoted: Have a vague recollection of that. Not seeing how it's recoilless, if it's a long recoil system...

I don't remember anyone calling the Auto-5 a recoilless shotgun... |

Minute mark 3:00 - when is it going to be released - TODAY (Jan 20 2023) They’re website has been up since the show : from the FAQ Q: How fast is delivery time? A: We have a base model available for immediate purchase and shipment. If you'd like to take advantage of different configurations, colors, and other customizations we are committed to shipping out your rifle within 8 weeks upon placing your order. FYI - they don’t have any for immediate shipment In my email exchange with them they say they have a 2 MOA version and are “working on” a 1 MOA version They’re apparently affiliated or co-own Mars Machining https://www.marsrifle.com/ So…. I’d think they’ve shipped some units out by now but I can’t find ANY info from users or reviewers It is odd being that at least a handful of YouTube channels deemed it the Winner of SHOT SHOW |

Quoted: This is the boat I'm in as well, what'd you go with? Interested bc we might be likeminded haha I had considered the SIG Spear or a Daniel Defense V5 but out of nowhere an oldie but goodie became available - Les Baer Custom 18” monolithic Ultimate model. It had to be mine. Next I’ll pickup a Ruger SFAR to go into my 308 collection… |
