Basic Information
Essentially a Remington 700 platform using the .30-06 round adapted to the M40 military specifications, except using a higher caliber. The round hopes to serve as an "Intermediate" barrier for the current weapon systems available, and to serve as a more powerful more "Accurate" bolt action rifle, rather than the much more capable semiautomatic rifles that can arguably get the same accuracy as the 7.62mm x 51mm NATO bolt action variants, at a faster rate of fire with a higher magazine cap.
