New Oly Deer Rifle?

[MJR007]

I got off the phone with Oly arms today. I had a question on my 25wssm upper. I was told they are making a new “AR 15” rifle in 223/243/257 & 30wssm for 2010. It will have a SS fluted barrel and come in under 7.5lbs. If this is true it will make one great big game rifle. The new 30rem maybe DOA. I was told they were taking orders already but could not find any thing on their site.

The new .300-OSM looks like it will be the hot ticket. 308 to 30-06 performance from the handy dandy AR15 platform.

I find myself really rooting for this cartridge's sucess

If they keep the price down maybe more people would be hunting with these rifles. I wish Oly the best on this product line.

Maybe soon we can see it.



Michael,

The rifle is being photographed for the 2010 catalog at the moment.
Give me a reminder in a week or two and I will get that too you.

Every caliber EXCEPT for the best two, eh? (6.5mm & 7mm) - makes sense to me - not.
