    Very cool I wish there was a 308/7.62 NATO variant probably better for hunting

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      Hi Nikora, we do plan to provide other caliber options at some point in the future. Some caliber’s will be accessible through an upper receiver swap (300BLK, 22LR), but the .308 requires it’s own platform. Rest assured we hope to make a .308 UTAS available in the future.

      1. Jordan

        I love the sound of that i was also looking for one in the 308 range due to how well it works out on the hunt…

      2. Nikora

        What Barrel length is the 300BLK upper come in

  2. Chris

    I would also be very interested in a 308 version of this rifle..

  3. Jade

    Is the charging handle left side only? or can this be moved to right side also like some other straight pulls?

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      A standard AR charging handle can be attached, but other than that, no, cannot be shifted to right side.

  4. ian.b.mcnabb

    What ammo would you recommend to use in the .223?

  5. coyoteson22

    I’ve placed an order for one of this rifle, plus the PMAG 30/10 magazine and can hardly wait to get it. I’m so excited. Like a child before Christmas.

  8. lee

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      Yes, the 22LR bolt will be in cmmg type.

  9. Steve

    It would be good if they have more barrel length options, like 18″ or 20″

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      Hi Steve, we hope to make some different barrels available. But we cannot at this stage promise anything.

  10. Campbell

    How would you change it to a semi automatic 22lr

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      Hi, Campbell. There will be 22lr conversion bolts available in the future to make this possible.

  11. dtcoa1

  12. Warren

    Morning. Is the barrel 5.56 or. 223 or wydle. It matters due to the ammo I have.

  13. joel

    From what i gather this is a Bolt action rifle correct?

    1. Delta Mike LTD

      Hi Joel,

      A straight pull action is a little different but yeah in a sense it is manually operated as with a bolt action.
