Howdy folks, so came across this on my instagram feed, does anyone have any info about this rifle actually being real?

Could be a hoax, word is it was released only a few hours ago. Next few days and weeks may well tell. Looks very nice. I would certainly look seriously at one in Creedmore . I wonder how much premium over a LA102?, Would it come in at or below $2k?, Will it be closer to the Tikka at around 3k?

Lithgow Arms Facebook page says it's legit, coming in 2018. Has specs posted up. Must say I like the look of it.

Looks ugs to me, seems like a la102 with a brake and shoved into a feral looking chassis whilst adding some hipster caliber, at least they're trying though, it'll actually probably sell as the tacticool comp chassis thing seems to be all the rage at the moment

it would probably shoot good but it looks like the la102 action with varmint barrel and they have copied the KRG whiskey 3 chassis

Hipster caliber :lol:
Possibly the best description of the 6.5 credmore I've ever heard.
