New bolt action from Caracal. Aluminum action!?

Very interesting design. I did a couple of conversions and it looks like it has a 28" heavy barrel and weighs 15 lbs. I wonder how much weight is saved by the aluminum action? It doesn't appear to be much. The bolt action is supposed to be here in early 2014.

The rifle can be configured to meet the needs of the end user. The Rifles I brought to SHOT had a 26.5 barrel and weighed just about 13 lbs. The rifle carries all of its weight in the barrels. We turn our barrels from blanks in our factory to our specs and can provide barrel lengths and contours to meet specific requests. The chassis will also be available in .338 Lapua Mag, and .50 Caliber as the US Market demand increases.

Please check out some of the information videos from SHOT that have been posted to youtube.
