Looks good for those who want a light hunting stick and dont want the 20" barrel.  Will be interesting to see what it weighs.

I'm interested in these for a new hunting rifle.

I'm curious as to what the price is (MSRP & Street)

I have seen the G2 selling right around $1300

Hmmm.... you can buy a pretty nice bolt gun for less than $1,000. That might be a tough sell for me.

Fast follow up shots and also the ability to double as a fun range rifle and with 20/25 round magazines be used as a poor man's SR25...I think it's a true 'do everything' weapon...IMHO.  It's worth the price of admission, plus it looks cooler than bolt guns IMHO.

Meh, I'm so bored with AR's and semi autos in general, I built a Ishapore, scout rifle just for something different.

I got to play with one at the NRA show last week.  I love it.    It weighed 7lbs.  The longer barrel rifle weighed 7.75lbs.  

I have ar-15s that weigh more than that.    I must have one.

Seems like a pretty good price for a .308. What do .308 ARs typically go for?

Just checked gunbroker and a lot of them are selling for $1000. Urge to buy rising...

I was going to get one beginning of this year. The only one I found I didn't like. The rail on the upper receiver was about 1/2" higher than the one in the op. Reminded me of the beuwolfX and looked uncomfortable as hell.

You were probably looking at the OLDER version, they have the higher rail than the "G2" model......
