Ugly Rifle!!!!!

You know, as much as I think this looks like an abomination against the firearm gods....
I have to remind myself that aesthetics are generational. A lot of the 20s something now in the market for firearms probably grew up with fond memories of synthetic stocks and space age designs.
We grew up dreaming of oil rubbed walnut and blued steel. They grew up with rifles sporting plastic furniture and duracoated metal.
Tastes change. I wouldn't be surprised to see these do well. Won't be something I'm buying, but I bet they find a market for it.
Now.. it's time to go out on the porch and wave my fist at those damn neighbor kids out of principle.

I don't think the designer(s) thought ahead. Attach something to the rails and your foregrip becomes problematic.

You guys just wait....
I see in the future, one of the TV celebrities will be shown sitting in his/her heated blind, with a Dimension in their hands.
Out of the woods will step a big 10 point they have 4,668 pics of and have named " big bruiser".
Hunter " Oh crap, I have the .30.06 barrel on and he is just a tad over 500 yards, better switch to the .270 win. ( TV cuts to show how easy they can switch out the barrels).
Hunter " that was easy!"
Cameraman " hes getting spooky, you better take him".
Hunter " You on him?"
Camerman " yup"
Boom...
Hunter " Oh man oh man!!! If you want to shoot bucks like this, then step up to the next Demension"....
Sorry, couldn't resist.

FUGLY doesn't begin to describe it.
Ahhhh! Finally a mate for the Glock!
I hope they can not reproduce!
That gun was made for poaching at night cause it's too damned ugly to bring out in the day light.

No Worries :grin: !!! No blood no foul!
The .243 would probably just bounce off anyways, even at spitting distance :grin:
