The 308 version of their pump action looks like it will ship mid this year;

Im guessing it will attract more intrest than the 223. 223 just too small for most aussie hunters that would use a pump in the bush ... my 7600 is serving me so my bank account will be safe when the wedgetail arrives

Yes I’d rather have a Remington pump action to hunt with, although I don’t think they’re making them any more are they?
I guess the new Turkish ones that Nioa Is bringing in will be popular.

Not my idea of a pump action but some will like it . The Pump grip seems a long way forward . I would buy a Browning BLR before I would buy that . That rear stock would be hard on your shoulder and face in a 308 . Especially with a pistol grip and no decent recoil pad . With a standard stock and your thumb over the top of the grip the stock recoil is kept down and back onto your shoulder . With pistol grips there is not so much control of a rising comb .

A better picture of a proto one that has been sent to a few people to test out.

I suspect it won't be available in WA. Appearance laws.

They might as well make it look like an AK to really stir up the ABC
