Anyone have info about when these will be hitting shelves?
Anyone had their hands on one of the test rifles?

I agree--except that 223, 243 and 308 are the "holy trinity" of rifle calibers that have the largest market appeal, apparently. When I go to GS's my interest is usually in "oddball" cartridges that aren't market leaders--but then I tend to like movies that get bad reviews too. : )Browning went the long action route with the BLR, I thought it spoiled the looks of the rifle. To me, seems little point in offering an '06, when the .308 is essentially the near equal.
What would interest me would be a wider array of short action calibers: 7-08, .260 come to mind quickly. The short action big bores seem apt too, .338 Fed and .358 Win, but not usually thought of as long range numbers.
Are you saying it IS a long action or are you saying you think they will release a redesigned long action. I exchanged a few e-mails with Imperato concerning the prospect of a 6.5 CM. That would fill a couple spots on my "needed to round out my collection" list. No commitment, but very positive.Hide & watch.
An AR lever? Can't wait!there'll be a couple surprises you wouldn't expect from Henry coming out within the next 12 months or so.
