  1. Regardless of the cartridge, I'm not in love with this rifle. First of all, it's not fully ambidextrous, because you can't switch the ejection side easily. 10%-ish of men are left-handed, 30% are cross-dominant. All of them will get hot brass in the face, or down the collar. Why? It's a huge redesign, after all. Then, it's long, it's heavy, it's front-heavy, yet it's not well suited to being converted into a bullpup. Also, the stock folds badly and on the wrong side. It's gonna catch on equipment and be a nuisance in any IFV. I compare it to the only other modern design I'm familiar with, that is MSBS Grot. I prefer Grot. If this 6.5 Fury will take off, I'm sure they will make a version which can shoot it.
